WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I’m sure Hobbycraft already sell bog roll tubes anyway.

I absolutely hate Hobbycraft.

I absolutely hate Hobbycraft.

I’ve not been in for years in fairness, I just vaguely recall being able to buy cardboard tubes.

I was always shit at the makes from Blue Peter anyway. My Ninja Turtle sewer lair looked like a child trying to depict a stroke using only sticky back plastic.

I think Peter Pervert is coming across as a low grade gammon. He's not quite there, he needs to blame Greta somehow.

Also I'm not sure how a cardboard free loo roll is going to make too much difference to a product which is totally paper. I recycle them anyway.

I'm shit at arts and crafts. Well I'm not, I just don't really care. I have fond memories of Anthea Turner's third most iconic exploit - Tracey Island.

Don’t these already exist? I’m pretty sure I’ve seen these in public toilets

How would you rate them on the catastrophe scale? 0 being Jyxz impaling himself, 5 being 9/11 and 10 being Boyz.

We don’t want to hear about what you’ve seen in public toilets.

Didn’t read the article, I’m not opposed to the idea but how are they supposed to fit into their ”handle” or is there still a hole in the middle?

Holes are bad for the environment.

Holes are bad for the environment.

It’s always the good stuff that are bad for you, innit?

 

[GinAg (39)]

I'm now down a Blue Peter rabbit hole. Valerie Singleton has previously denied fucking Joan Armatrading and Janet Ellis was sacked for giving birth to another child that wasn't SEB, which is fair. There's also the dead 80s gay.

I’d say a 1 - better than running out of toilet roll, and art that requires old loo roll tubes is inherent rubbish

 

[Kratz]

What will they do on BITSA?

 

[Star]

This is a disaster I agree. Only last week we made a kaleidoscope out of a toilet roll tube

 

[Diddy]

Am I misunderstanding? This is about ONE toilet paper company changing to tubeless - or is there a bog roll monopoly in the UK now?

It’s not like the industry deciding that toilet roll tubes are going to be BANNED

 

[PercyPig]

No one can afford Cushelle these days anyway.

Bloody BIG LOO ROLL

Growing up, we topped our Christmas tree with a Barbie in a wedding dress and tiara whose lower half had been replaced with a toilet roll tube.
