I am about to share a secret that was never supposed to leave the elite group it concerns. But alas this group has been torn apart by the system, never to be the same.
Ok, it was Denys Holland Lodge, and the residents of its ground floor, who were made to move out at the end of the term.
Despite the £110 that we so kindly donated to University College London for every week we lived there, they were unable to provide toilet paper to use in our shared bathrooms. This meant that immediate action was needed. After much deliberation, we decided to follow the actions of a group mentioned in a book of "Simon Mayo's Very Worst of Confessions", a feature of his Radio 1 breakfast show.
Thus we, the 12 or so housemates, supplied the floor with toilet roll from any source possible. The university departments, the student union, shops, restaurants, offices and even the Swedish Embassy in London. Our total for the year was. I believe, in excess of 200 and at our peak, we had over 70 toilet rolls nestling on the window sill of our shared kitchen.
The cleaners, Pilar and Linda, were somewhat bemused, but being so nice, left the rolls alone, and even used some in the shared bathrooms.
