Toilet paper generally comes in one, two or three-ply. Which do you prefer and is your choice a budgetry one? Is safety a concern when choosing your toilet paper? Is branding important and does advertising influence your decision?
[quote=“sandman”]See what I mean? The English ARE effete. I’ve never even heard of three-ply – that would represent luxury beyond my wildest dreams!
THREE ply?! [/quote]
Three-ply was invented when the English armies pushed back the marauding Scottish hoardes to well beyond the Gretna - Berwick line (approx.) when it was necessary to protect the soldiers from digestory consequences got from eating indigenous Caledonian fayre.

Of course, the Highlanders had no need for bumwad, preferring instead to simply use the closest Englishman…
I don’t think your poll is in-depth enough. I think you should explore what kind of TP goes with what kind of bowel movement.
For example, I think that after a night of drinking cheap Tequila and eating Indian food might require a different kind of ass paper than one that would be used after a dinner of steak and potatoes.
Personally I think Toilet Paper should be outlawed. Waste of paper, and a noxious way to cleanse one’s arse. Rubbing a super-bleached low grade pulp paper across one’s back door is a little barbaric.
What we need are teams of engineers working non-stop to invent some super-duper butt-cleaning device, perhaps an adaptation of a bidet…Taiwan could contribute funding in order to counter its’ image as a nation of dirty asses…
And in the meantime, I’ll stock up on the soft, expensive stuff. And get Me some of that 3ply, for those “Too many Guinness the Night Before” mornings.
