How ever did they cope in the days of squares of newspaper threaded on a string?

they probably used the broadsheets

[vakayu]

Every day you think you've heard it all,then read something else.The exclusive Chelsea crowd have more money than sense anyway! What would they think of Izal?

[bookbinder]

They were an improvement on the sponges on sticks that the Romans and the monks used.

[humbersloop]

Erm, they used the daily mail??

[tonyav]

Birmingham City programmes.

[McMouse]

I always found the FT aesthetically pleasing.

[emmie]

they didn't perhaps being too young, most of us however who remember Izal, that vile non paper, are thankful for the comfort of soft toilet tissue.

[albaqwerty]

Using anything glossy is asking for trouble.
Wasn't one side of Izal glossy?

[sandyRoe]

In days of old when knights were bold...
can't remember the rest

[tonyav]

Oh gawd em, Izal the standard issue at school.

[Brenden]

Izal was a waxed paper wasn't em, it just slid over the bot and smelt vile - but it was considered one step up from newspaper on a string.

[Bazile]

^^^^^^^

They didn't have any toilet roll ...

Someone else can carry on

[Kiki-frog]

Izal - I can remember that horrible disinfectant smell now. Yeuch. And, Tony, on behalf of Mr Frog, I am choosing to ignore your earlier comment

[tonyav]

LOL ^^^^^^

[Bazile]

My previous post was in response to sandyroe's .

I do wish people would wait untill i've finished typing

[daffy654]

You don't have to be wealthy to use moist toilet tissue, I buy it and i'm most definitely NOT rich.

[emmie]

Izal, absolutely disgusting, you were better off wiping yer bum with the squares of the daily mirror, at least it was absorbent.

[tonyav]

LOL @ em, you may as well wipe your bum with a Tesco bag as Izal.

[emmie]

the point of course is that these wet wipes are not disposable, unlike toilet tissues. And Izal had a shiny and matt side, the smell was awful from it, let alone actually use it.

[McMouse]

And with the Mirror you could see what............
