Toilet paper then and now


Recommended Posts

Throughout much of the second world war there was a shortage of paper in many combatant nations, and toilet paper was no exception. I have read many accounts of Soviet wartime life on the front and that is mentioned from the start to the end. They were often short of other toiletries too, such as razor blades, toothpaste and soap. Women in the Red Army had to improvise their own sanitary items.

 

If the USSR and it's Army was able to defeat the largest invasion in human history and throw back the German invader from the gates of Moscow all the way to Berlin, I think the UK can hunker down for a few weeks in isolation without comfy bum...

 

(EDIT: I've just had a thought. Why not do a propaganda leaflet raid? Free toilet paper for the other side?)

I'll probably get criticized for this comment but frankly, I don't care. I'm sure most have seen the post in General Discussion asking for a copy of BoBP so the poster wouldn't feel left out and couldn't save up for it. In ordinary times, I find requests like that annoying. Considering people around the world are dying in the thousands from a virus all of us are susceptible to, I find this request absolutely appalling. If someone wants to give away a copy of the game, as many have including myself, all the better. But to ask so boldly just pisses me off. I'm glad someone saw fit to grant the request. In this instance, I wouldn't be that generous. Instead, I'll donate money to a charity.

kill a tree to clean my butt is a bit sad

 

Bidets seemed to be outdated, but now everybody wished to actually have one - this equipment is really good and will find

its way back, I'm sure.

 

TP from recycling used to be like sandpaper some 20-30 years ago, but today it is as good as the common one and you do

something for the environment, if you don't have a bidet.
