A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next door neighbour. Before she says a word, Bob says, “I’ll give you £500 to drop that towel.” After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob.

After a few seconds, Bob hands her £500 and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks,…

“Who was that?” “It was Bob the next door neighbour,” she replies. “Great!” the husband says, “Did he say anything about the £500 he owes me?”

I've just been to France and spent a day in Paris. Here is one of the Wallace Fountains.

There must be a lot of these being built round here. Not a packet of loo roll in sight in supermarket this morning!
I think we British deserve an award for our ability to produce black humour in difficult times.

The panic-buying of toilet rolls is a problem. I was in Tesco earlier and there wasn't any to be found on the shelves, searched all the ends of aisles up and down the store too. I asked at the information desk as well after a bit of a wait to ask if they'd got any out the back. No chance but she was a bit short with me.



It was pretty embarrassing walking back to the gents with my trousers around my ankles.

Morning Tigerburnie, my Mum had the same problem yesterday at Tesco's, wanted toilet rolls and paracetemol for her pain, they had neither...and since we only have one bus a week a real nuisance for her...we will see what we can get for her tomorrow, when we go shopping.
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

This wont solve the shortage problem but may help to make each roll last a little longer.

Squash each roll into an oval shape before putting it on the roller.
Then fix it oNto the roller with the loose end hanging at the back (against the wall) rather than at the front.

This makes it doubly difficult to pull off a dozen sheets at a time.

For liquids only: pull off one sheet, fold in half, then in half again and use as a dabbing pad. Wash your hands afterwards obviously!

It does work but I can confirm it's irritating! . However we may have to put up with ever greater irritants than this before this epidemic is over so perhaps time to develop a few new habits !

In a real emergency using those packets of pocket size nose blowing tissues might substitute but not newspaper, kitchen roll or wet wipes as they don,t dissolve and will quickly block sewers.

Somebody has just sent me a video clip of a man in a pub about to buy a pint of beer. He pulls a loo roll out of his pocket and carefully pulls off three separate sheets of loo paper to pay for it!

Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.

If nothing else I think this crisis will help restore our national British black sense of humour ! After 3 months of self isolation ai think some of us will badly need it !
