Toilet roll update + pushy ice-cream vending

Posted in Blitherings

Right kids, as you may have guessed from the title, todays post is a double-bill…

First up: You remember I posted a while ago about the correct alignment of toilet roll? Remember how important we discovered it was to have the free-end hanging over, rather than under? Well the other day at work, I saw this:

Toilet roll sign

I’m just glad to see that there are companies in the UK that take toilet-roll safety & wastage seriously. I’m really quite chuffed to be able to say I work for them. Go Mothercare!

Next: When I was last in Leicestershire, I snapped this on my phone and forgot about it:

Quicker sales mean bigger profits

That’s right, the sign says: “Quicker Sales mean Bigger Profits - stock the UK Impulse top 6 sellers”.

A little bit of me died that day… Before that I had subconsciously believed in the innocence of ice-cream sales - surely no-one would want to sell pure pleasure for cold profit? Don’t they just want me to be happy?

Bet you’re glad I hit you with the good news first,

    I confess, I’m one of those people who use the last bit of toilet paper and can’t be bothered to go and refill it..
    *Sigh* I really want a twister now.

    Do that next year and feel my wrath! Feel my wrath dammit!
    I’ll buy you a twister tomorrow, my treat.
