November’s object of the month

By Object of the Month

Government issue toilet paper

Many people may remember this sort of toilet paper (it is sort of like tracing paper).

Each sheet of this toilet paper is stamped with the words

“GOVERNMENT PROPERTY.”

It probably came from inside a government building or office.

If anyone knows more about this sort of toilet paper do tell us as we would be interested to know more about it.

An assortment of colourful Christmas decorations including a snowman, baubles and a bow.
