For me, it may be that the toilet paper roll needs to have the open end away from the wall. I don’t want to reach under the roll to take a piece! That’s ludicrous!
That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use “less” when they should use “fewer”
Funny that knikkers are marbles! Probably used to be the same in English with een paar, but with language change moving English away from its West Germanic roots we tend not to use ‘pair’ so often any more except when referring to specific things where it’s important that there’s two of them, like aces or… knickers.
