Thread Name: BS: stock piling toilet paper
Subject: RE: BS: stock piling
My husband never uses toilet paper, he thinks it's rather a dirty way to deal with ones bottom. He uses a plastic jug of cold (!) water and slooshes it onto himself while crouched over the toilet basin. This is how most Africans deal with cleaning themselves, a quick sloosh.
My friend in Norwich rang this evening and she told me that Sainsbury's this morning had numerous empty shelves, so people have evidently been stockpiling.
We'll end up with ration books, which I remember in the early fifties.
