It’s time to talk toilet roll. I recently switched to Who Gives a Crap toilet roll. Mostly because I love the irreverent name and they look great. (Yes, I’m very shallow sometimes) Why should you give a crap about what your family wipes their bum with? According to the founders they decided to create Who … Continue reading Review: Who Gives A Crap?
