Am a folder myself. My daughter says it goes back to the outhouse and the
catalog days! She thinks she is being cute but my grandparents had an
outhouse until 1960. The question I usually get in a survey is, do you put
the paper to unfold from the back or the front. Supposedly you use less
if
you have to reach back and pull it than let it freewheel from the top.

I never put the paper on the roll because O T likes to grab it and run.
Have awakened many mornings to the frontroom decorated in toilet paper.

No, I haven't gone mad!
I join in on an on-line forum on my other interest which is poultry. It
is a well designed interface and there are different sections for OT
posts, for recipes, for getting annoyed, and for asking off the wall
questions.
Mostly we do talk about our birds though..

Anyway. The question is: Do you scrunch or fold your toilet paper?

The options are:
1. Scruncher that I be, we use loads
2. Folder am I - anything else is wasteful
3. Never noticed - what a daft question
4. Not telling - show me the results
5. I AM the Andrex puppy.

It's an almost exclusively British group, with a few ex-pats in France
and
Spain.

Two people said they thought most Europeans fold and most Americans
scrunch. I doubt they have met more than a few Americans in their life,
let alone asked them about their toilet habits!

So, in my unique position of "knowing" quite a few Americans in this
group, feeling comfortable to ask, to prove it right or wrong, if you
feel
okay to answer please do, and Brits and Europeans too. If not, not a
problem. It's just a bit of fun.
I am a folder, myself.
