I encountered my pet hate (except for painting and decorating) today

A quick visit to my local Mall saw me visit the mens restroom and in a cubicle I encountered my pet hate of all times! Un-perforated Toilet paper!!!!!!!! Yes you read right I just hate UN-PERFORATED TOILET PAPER!!!!!!! In the past I worked in the factory of "Bronco" a once famous w.c. paper manufacturer, so I know just how difficult it is to set up the machinery that perforates the WC paper and really it "P*sses me off" when commercial institutions try to rip you off (or cause you to rip off! ) by using a cheap substitute for a quality product. Sure there was loads of it! but it wasnt blo*dy Perforated was it!!! not only that, it was poor quality too you know the sort "soft, strong and eugh!!!"

When I worked at bronco (On maintenance) the guys took their jobs seriously and the guy that set the perforator was a real tradesman and "looked up to", ( his job was way up in the roof of the factory) and when he set it too fine it would break and the one ton roll of pre cut and now un-perforated WC paper would sail right over the heads of the packers and other workers and cover the factory floor with six foot wide soft tissue or sometimes sugar paper you know the sort of shiny smooth stuff about the same texture as a phone book and as hard as a whores face ( sorry ladies I know your jobs tough but bare with me, no! I don`t mean that, do I, Oh sh*t! I am going to get myself into trouble here) any way, about a six foot depth of paper would have to be cleared away before re starting the packing, occured. It very much depended upon the amount of time that it took somebody to get to the emergency stop button on the shop floor.

Oh yes! I also worked at the Metal Box Company that made tin cans and the same occasionally happened there when the machine went crazy, with the difference that the tins hurt. I digress, but can you imagine being hit by about a thousand baked bean tins, without their lids on, as they cascaded down from the roof ? Ouch they did hurt! thank goodness they weren`t filled.

Anyway where was I? Oh yes! I really felt that my day had been ruined and that I should protest to the management? but whose going to take me seriously on this T issue? really who is? I ask you! I really feel like setting up a world wide body that researches the quality of all public toilets and grades them on a five star basis? maybe I could call it Standard health in Toilets ?

Maybe I could print all my findings monthly ? and once a year, produce a " Standard health in toilets calendar" with pictures much the same as the Pirelli ones but unisex? Mmmmmmm maybe not,.,,,,,,, I think I`ll just call the nurse! "Nurse! Nurse! its time for my medication! " Nurse?? Nuuuuuuurrrrrssseee where are you?" :o)) sure I`m boored!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
