I'm run out of TP.
I've seen a lot of it in the shops, but the problem is that in these circumstances I just can't go and get it, cuz I don't want to be labeled as a hoarding idiot. So buying it now is not an option, NO-WAY!
But i'm no stupid, I know theres a lot of old news papers waiting for me in the garbage bins.


Man, I wish someone put an end to this corona thing quickly, I want to live a normal life.

One roll left. Just came back from the store, quite surprisingly there was none left. I thought better of our little city.

More than plenty, due mainly to the fact my daughters place of abode has three toilets and she has always kept a healthy supply in the garage.

ATTENTION UK STAND BY FOR BLOCKED DRAINS!

Yes it is going to happen as people flush kitchen paper and news paper down the toilets blocking the drains and in the long term BACTERIA....

I don't want to say anymore as Bacteria is smarter.

So spread the word and stop people doing the wrong thing or you run the risk.

Icon12 Concerned about your toilet paper supply?

There is an app for this


https://howmuchtoiletpaper.com/


Created by London based student Software Developer Ben Sassoon and Artist Sam Harris after they had a discussion about how much toilet paper they each used on a day to day basis and how that would change during the pandemic. It has now been used by over 5,000,000 people and is helping to reduce toilet paper shortage round the world.



Sliders alter the amount of toilet rolls you have and the amount of times you go to the toilet everyday. There are also advanced settings which alter wipes per trip, sheets per wipe, sheets on roll and the length of your quarantine.



The average user has 500% more toilet paper than they need for quarantine.

There is a slight problem with that and without be rude it all comes down to how much wiping is needed.

Reading reports water ccmpany's are urging people not to flush anything other than toilet paper and bin the rest as reports of blocked pipes have gone up.

All set for Mr. Bacteria wanting his share of killing thanks to stupid people...Lets all hope note.
