Trouble is we are a "captive market" so the loo roll people can take advantage. It can be annoying when you open your cupboard and find you haven't enough rice for your planned risotto/curry or WHY but nothing to match that sinking feeling if you open another cupboard to get a loo roll and the cupboard is bare
@wild edges I caught a snippet of a programme a couple of days ago where they were talking about standardising information on shelf labels to prevent confusion.
Can anybody explain why the Yanks are happy for anybody and everybody to carry guns and go around massacring people, but can't bring themselves to call a toilet a toilet? I've recently seen a aircraft loo referred to as a 'comfort station' and toilets in houses referred to as rest room, powder room, bathroom (although you'd have to be pretty small to have a bath in the bog or handbasin). I suspect they have other names for them too.

But we British call it a WC, loo, bog - and more. Why? Because everyone has a certain level of decorum - or not!!
However, as to the carrying of guns, it's their constitutional right. But not everyone does. Or even owns one!
