According to recent economic figures the recession has bottomed out, but the experts still agree that we’re not out of the woods yet. In times of economic hardship it’s the little luxuries that put a smile on your face so with this in mind, Waitrose has launched a unique toilet tissue with cashmere extracts! The super soft cashmere loo roll is part of a new range, which includes jojoba (also unique to Waitrose) and aloe vera, all rolling into branches this month.
....
The unique Jojoba boasts the additional innovation of having a scented core, providing a refreshing aroma to the bathroom.
Rolling into branches now and retailing at £2.29 for a pack of four and £4.79 for a pack of nine this is the perfect way to enjoy cashmere without breaking the bank.
The royal purple packaging is gorgeous. Think of this luxury product rolling right into your bathroom.
From Lapin, who recommends the tissue highly.
Just TOO silly, isn't it?

But the real question is over or under? when hanging the roll
ReplyDeleteLapin, what's next?
ReplyDeleteAnn, I solved the under or over problem when my children were toddlers. My answer is under. The little ones have to reach under and pull, rather than just stand and tap on the top of the roll to unwind the tissue. Of course, mine did the unrolling from under anyway, but it was a bit more of a challenge. I've never changed my habit.
Our cats prefer under as they can pull the tissue down and around the room more easily so we do over
ReplyDeleteWhatever works best for you, Ann. I suppose I'm a bit compulsive, because when Tom replaces the roll in the over position, I always change it to under. I can't help myself.
ReplyDeleteI'm reminded of the passage in Rabelais in which one of his giants (can't recall if it was Gargantua or Pantagruel) engages in research as to the best "rumpswab." As I recall, poultry of various kinds figure prominently in the short list.
ReplyDeleteEeeww, Tobias!!! I'll take cashmere.
ReplyDeleteDon't blame me! Blame my 10th grade French Teacher, Mlle. Hoen, who allowed me to get a copy of Rabelais from the "stacks" -- my other favorite bit is the tale of how Paris got its name... with a similarly excretory explanation!
ReplyDeleteOh. So you were in the stacks, then, Tobias.
ReplyDeleteI don't know the excretory story of how Paris got its name. You'll need to tell me. I Googled and found nothing but the story of the Gallic Parisii tribe which settled on the Île de la Cité.
Ah yes, the days of the old real library... long before Google!
ReplyDelete"Ris" is an old French word for urine. As I recall, at one point Garganuta takes a leak in the previously unnamed city, and due to the prodigious quantity of the stuff, the populace is in danger of being drowned, and cry out, "Nous sommes innondés par ris! The Giant thinks that must be the name of the town...
Hilarious! I'm so glad I asked. I'm laughing so, I can't catch my breath. If I die, it's all your fault. I must save the story.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I'm a retired librarian, and I have stories of the goings on in the stacks, but nothing so funny as the story of how Paris got its name.
"Nous sommes innondés par ris!"
I've not come across this loo roll in Waitrose but then I always go for the recycled number in order to feel virtuous. Maybe it's time for a change.
ReplyDeleteIt's over and not under for me. I haven't got any reason for it though (since I don't have children or cats).
I would think chickens would be a bit wriggly to really work.
wv - ratten - they would work even less well than chickens.
