Which side of the Toilet Roll? Discuss....
Another serious topic for which I seek the wise counsel of JetBlast.

Always have the unused side facing outwards.

Not only easier access if the loose end is at the front - if it is next to the wall it is likely to rub against the wall which is less hygenic.

Perhaps we should have the Mods setup a poll.
I could then print out the results and show Mrs B; then either she will agree with me or try and ban me from PPRuNe

They don't print the silly patterns on the outside for nothing......roll the paper outwards or visitors to your loo will be appalled by your lack of good taste.

I have a holder screwed at right angles to the wall on the left of the throne and slightly forward of me, the loose end is facing me, I have ease of use, complete satisfaction, and a sense of achievement.
My once partner changed it round, I showed her the door and told her to never darken the threshold again. I have not seen her since.

- not a problem if you follow my previous advice, is it?

If the loose end is by the wall, then it is easier for the roll to unwind so a good pull will end up with yards of the stuff. Just what women use.

I always use both sides.

Now when I was in the "militry", we had the one side shiny paper. I was always told is was "Shiny side OUT" for the officers, and "shiny side IN" for the rest....

What you don't want is this.
A mate of mine actually did this...in my house. We jumped off the sofa & sent him straight back up the stairs.

It depends; are you a scruncher or a folder - and what of your good lady?

In defense of women.....not all of us like it to the inside. When I'm on holiday with a particular friend, we have been known to change the roll back and forth until I get bored and let her win.

the glue used to bind the free end has a strength DIRECTLY in proportion to the vinderloo one needs rid of!!!

The correct way.
and just in case Mrs. Birddog is confused, you can print this out and place it above the holder.
Cheers

Remove about 6' (or two metres) of paper from the roll.
