Bring back the toilet roll?

[Steelcitysenior]

Izal bog roll, the most unfit for purpose product known to man. If a roll didn't unfurl on its journey through the air, it could render you unconscious if you were in the firing line. UTB.

 

[Numpty's Dusty Ruts.]

Izal. Chapeltown's finest. I think schools carried on using it years after anyone else simply as a deterrent to actually having a dump at school, or to keep Newton Chambers going. I went to school in Derbyshire (Dronny), and although it's a reyt long time ago, I have no Izal memories beyond primary school (about 1970). I was gobsmacked when my kids started infants school in Sheffield in the early '90's and were faced with Izal.
I'm very proud to say that Mrs Numpty got this agent of child abuse and cruelty removed from the otherwise lovely school fairly quickly.
Oh, and apparently you're meant to use the rough side for the "task". I only found that out many years after my last skiddy experience with the stuff.

Bring back Blades News! Issued free as you went in, ripped up and thrown as the teams came out.

Then on cold night matches, piled up by us young uns to make a nice big bonfire on the kop to keep us war.
This would last until the to big coppers who stood on the concrete platform, would come down with a bucket of water. Some of the early 80s matches were not that entertaining, so we made our own fun.

I think I still have one or two in the distant realms of the loft. I think it was the "at home with Tony Kenworthy" one or one with Miss Sheffield United Samantha Sears. Or maybe she was at home with Tony Kenworthy! Will have to check it's a long time ago.

Most of the workers in the Izal factory were women and young girls from the Chapeltown , Ecclesfield and High Green area who had failed to find work in the more usual areas of employment for females at the time , such as shop assistants , typists , hairdressers etc. and as a result , working there had a certain stigma attached to it .

I remember my mum once laying into my sister saying - “ If you don’t pass your exams you’ll finish up in the bloody Izal factory - now get your bloody homework done ! “

In fairness to the company , whilst their bog rolls were utterly shite ( pun intended ) their pine scented disinfectant was and still is the finest product of it’s kind ever produced , the mere smell of which brings back many fond memories .

 

[Kop sufferer]

They have to be Izal.

And stolen from. BR football special

 

[Trafford]

Forget the toilet rolls, bring back the Argentinian ticker tape cloud when the players come out. The local bookies were never very happy mind, most of the shredded paper was betting slips!

 

[S64 Blade]

Given some of the tight bastards about in Sheffield, some will catch it and take it home with them.

 

[diode_blade]

If your chucking Andrex, don't forget to remove the puppy off the bog roll first...Dogd Lives Matter...or save the bog roll and chuck the puppy...


no seriously chuck the bog roll

 

[Billyblade]

My mates and me used to lift thousands of Argos tickets from the shop on the moor as we made our way to the Lane.
Around 1988 every game used to be like Argentina 1978 World Cup, except there was only around 9000 at our games to witness this spectacular blizzard of paper at all our home games from the Kop.

Me too
You might be one of my mates

If anybody wants any, i've got about 8000 rolls. I bought them as an experiment in March 2020

I had to get rid of all mine to make room for the petrol cans I bulk bought a few months ago.

 

[Rodley]

Never rated him.

 

[Hblockblade]

Other supermarkets available of course. Let's see to encourage our fans to throw stuff or not to encourage our fans to throw stuff...

There softer than bricks

There softer than bricks

This is true!

I did a first years engineering apprenticeship up around there 1974-75 and had experience of the Izal 'Ladies' at the xmas party - very wild, but great fun. (Well, Maybe not to the one amongst us who had to have a washer cut off his dick by the fire brigade....)

When I was a kid we had to use newspaper sheets pinned to the bog wall, mainly from the Sheffield Star.
We were ahead of our time there werent we?

Second most popular use of the Star after eating chips out of it. I'm sure actually reading it was in the top ten too.

Folder, less sharp edges.

 

[Jon Bon II]

This is what they want!

 

[Hallam Blade]

As someone who sits at the front of the Kop, I'm all for this. It'll save me a a few bob on the weekly shop.

You'll see me running out the ground at ft looking like this

Me too, Argos on the moor was very accommodating
