I did 2 tours as Dep Heliops Controller Aug - Dec 87 & Jul - Oct 2000. During the 87 Det, an empty ISO was taken up to Mt Alice as the rubbish ISO and the full one taken off. When the lads from Alice went out to put rubbish in the new one they discovered the Falklands supply of Loo Rolls inside. For several months they used to barter with every other unit for goodies in return for a roll or two. The other little wheeze was when anybody was visiting for a dining in night, whilst the diner was at the meal the lads would fill his/her cabin with loo rolls which they then had to dig out before they could get to their bed!!
