You didn't need to worry about anyone stealing the lavvy paper, we all wiped our BTMs on one newspaper or another. No Andrex back then.
I was brought up in Monarch Street Ossy Margaret, on our side of the street (RIGHT H. S. going down) we all had our own back yard and loo + coal shed, on the other side they had a communal Yard which shared with top three houses in Milton Street, the loos were in a bank as were the coal sheds. We were lucky in our house my mother worked at Hygiene Supplies on Stone Bridge Lane, who made nothing but bog rolls, we had um coming out of our ears
