Ah, the good old 'Izal' or 'Bronco' brand of tp.. I got to be form captain on the strength of the argument that changing from the non-absorbent variety of paper in the school bathrooms that was detrimental to health, to a brand with a little more absorbency would reduce paper useage and the frequency of toilet blockage or 'paper floaters' that encouraged extra flushing to remove them.
In the military town of Aldershot, in the mid 1980's, the public lavatories used a similar brand of tp, which had carefully printed on each sheet 'Government Property, now wash your hands'.
