NFL team brings its own toilet paper to play in England!

Haha! Sorry Ralphy but I had 48 years of American TP and I can tell you there's no difference. Besides, nobody in England would have cared about some American football game yesterday because they are all crying because they just lost the rugby world cup. Hahahaha! Scotland is still in it!

And how did they get knocked out of the rugby world cup? :grin:
 

Thanks Laurie, for that clarification...
 

Anyway, why are they coming over when nobody here cares about American football? We've got real football (aka soccer) and rugby. :playful:

I cant understand that either, why are we playing over there? Was the Queen there?(G)

No idea. The Jets played the Dolphins. The queen only likes horse racing, but her daughter likes footie and rugby.
 
Just for info, American football is becoming increasingly popular in the UK.

We now get three regular season games, at Wembley, all sell outs. We even close Regent Street for a giant party!

Jacksonville Jaguars, Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, New York Jets, Kansas City Chiefs and Detroit Lions will all be here this year, the Jaguars in particular are regulars and love coming.

Even the BBC now shows the Superbowl, and on satellite we get at least three games every Sunday, all Monday hight and Thursday games, and all the specials. We even get the draft!

I'm a Cgeesehead myself, and one of the things your commentators always mention is tha fact that no matter which two teams are playing, the uniforms of every team in the NFL can be seen in the crowd.

Must be pretty frustrating for supporters to lose a home game to London, but tens of thousands of Brits appreciate it, so thanks.

Incidentally, every year there is talk of a UK franchise. It won't happen. People travelling from all over to fill Wembley a couple of times a year is one thing, doing so on a regular basis is another.
 
Once upon a time I always took Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday for high school, college, and pro foot ball. Lately I turn off the TV if it is wasting time for football. In fact most sports now get turned off. I guess I just got burned out with all the attention I once turned to it.

But I could see why they might take some of their trusted TP with them. Here in the US we often have some of the dumbest stuff provided in the public rooms of stores. Thin for sure in some. No wet strength in others. Some with real proper papers. It is like a crap game, never know the roll of the dice.
 
I can remember when I was bumming around Europe in the 60's, toilet paper seemed to come in three varieties: the super-thin tissue paper type, the totally non-absorbent wax-paper type and the ouch! sandpaper-type. In Portugal (if I remember correctly) I discovered a previously-unknown type - the colored crepe-paper type that actually turned your tushie green. I sent a piece of it to Frommer's "Europe on Five Dollars a Day" and received a free 1968 edition with credit in the book as the discoverer. Dr. Livingston, move over.
 
You should write a book about your tp experiences. It would probably be an instant best seller...
 
Yes, quilted supersoft loo paper here now, but you could be right about the weak plumbing, water pressure here is never good
so you rarely get a good strong shower, even with a so called power shower.

The quilted does plug up the toilet. I tried several brands when I moved here and prefer Andrex.

But we do have a great power shower.
