I'm sure I had this problem inflicted on me as a kid - by the daddy long legs found in huge swarms in concrete public toilet blocks, with Izal toilet paper holders (never any paper), in North Wales in the 1970's :suspect: ... and by a grandmother with a weak bladder who thought it was necessary for kids to be shoved into every toilet we passed too :rolleyes:
