| 282098 | 2004-10-17 21:32:00 | Choice - does your toilet roll deliver over the top or under ? Who prefers which ? Cheers T |

| 282099 | 2004-10-17 21:54:00 | A very good question Tony, and there is an engineering recommendation coming up :) It all depends on the design of toilet roll holder. If it is a hinged design, ie the roll can be lifted up, and the roll rests agains the wall, then the roll should be arranged so that it delivers from the top. The reason for this is quite simple. Delivery from the the top tends to reduce the force exerted by the roll on the wall. Delivery from the bottom increases the force of the roll on the wall due to a servo-action. Hence if you have wallpaper, it will wear much faster with bottom delivery as compared to top delivery. Here endeth the small science lesson. |

| 282100 | 2004-10-17 22:22:00 | Well well. A conundrum worth of Nietzsche (gesundheit!) Excuse me. Allergies. I suppose it depends on whether uber-man places the roll. :D If I do it, over. If my wife replaces the roll, under. Much tidier that way ;) |

| 282101 | 2004-10-17 22:35:00 | I am in support of Terry's orientation, but from the equally important perspective of function, rather than engineering principles. Delivery from the rear will all too often result in the free end of the roll being obscured from view behind the roll itself. This wastes precious seconds of productivity, causing unnecessary downtime. Call me paranoid, obsessive-compulsive, or anything else but I'll swap the roll around if it's installed "incorrectly". This does of course bring up the related question: FOLDED or SCRUNCHED ??? :D |

| 282103 | 2004-10-17 22:48:00 | Why is the empty cardboard roll left on the hinge when there are replacements available. I'm an over supporter but Imay change to under when the grandkids arrive if there is more resistance to unrolling | Dally (6292) | ||
| 282104 | 2004-10-17 22:49:00 | When I was little, one of the jobs that used to be given to me was to tear newspapers into squares and pre-crumple them to make them softer, and hang them up on the nail in the outside bog. In the winter my dad often had to dig a path through the snow to get to the toilet, the water in the pan would be frozen, I used to like peeing on the ice. The newspaper swere The Daily Mirror, that how I learned to read, from the cartoon strips, like Jane, Garth, Ruggles, etc. |

| 282105 | 2004-10-17 22:59:00 | "The newspaperswere The Daily Mirror" An appropriate use for such a rag .. In an earlier century, any sort of paper was welcome. Dr Johnson ( of dictionary fame" was penning a reply to a correspondent he detested, and said " Sir, I have your letter before me and it will soon be behind me ." Cheers T |

Is that you Mum? :) I've been hearing that one for 40 odd years except it was the Glasgow Guardian :) |

| 282107 | 2004-10-17 23:05:00 | Definitely an over man, for all the reasons given above, neatly folded sheets and the empty roll goes in the waste receptacle supplied for such things . I to, will change the roll to the over orientation if it has not been installed in that fashion by sloppy individuals who most often as not install in whatever way it comes out of the packet X-( I also put a new towel on the ring after the previous one has been put in the wash . Last but not least, I make sure the seat is left up, even after serious operations . This improves the visual awareness of their surroundings and their reactions to unexpected emergency sit|uations, of the two female members of the family and any visitors that happen by . Of course this is for training purpose only ;\ Cheers Murray ;P |
