It always gave me a chuckle when using said paper to think that I was wiping my a**e on Government Property





probably the only time you could "S***" on the government, and get away with it!

Years ago, when I was in the Army reserve, all the permanent barracks that I stayed in had rolls of toilet papers in the loos of the shiny variety, each sheet of which was stamped 'Government Property'

It always gave me a chuckle when using said paper to think that I was wiping my a**e on Government Property :-D :-D

LaGooner - we lived in a caravan when the loo was a bucket in a shed - so to 'some', apparently no better than trailer trash - but I wasn't allowed to swear.


Sharron, I love to learn.
I shall probably now re-label electioneering leaflets that come through the door. Some will be rubbish - the others 'bumf' - and yes, I shall snigger! . :-D

Sometimes I wish I had a cat litter tray to line. :-D

It's a good thing you know that now Maggie isn't it? You never know when you might need a piece of information like that.

Do we pack our little heads with some things as we go along?

We were as common as muck in our household Maggie. You would be surprised what I came out with as a child although never swear words that was more than I would do. I would certainly have had my mouth washed out with Lifebuoy soap if I had, and yes I have tasted it :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

We used newspaper in the outside (and only) loo - much softer than Izal, and my dad used the word 'bumf', but I still didn't link the meaning!

I was only 6 or 7, and probably got told off for saying 'bum', so wouldn't say 'bumf'.
