Britain tops world in toilet paper use  
A report from the tissue industry has revealed compared to  
other major nations, Britain far surpasses the average  
amount of toilet paper used annually.  Industry figures  
have revealed the average British citizen flushes 39 pounds  
of toilet paper each year, a figure nearly 2 1/2 times the  
average use of European residents, the Telegraph said.  
Close behind Britain was the United States and its annual  
average of 34.5 pounds per person while the European  
Union's new Baltic countries held up the rear with an  
8.5 pound average.  While Western Europe maintains an  
annual average usage of 27 pounds, industry experts are  
predicting that Europe will see a 40 percent increase  
in the lavatory product over the next decade.  The paper  
said such claims of increased success were due in part  
to revolutionary toilet paper concepts such as the  
Portuguese brand, Renova Black, whose dark colored product  
has been filling international bathrooms as of late.

It came to be in my possession via email. As there are so many brits cruising round this site, I thought I would share. Remember, Americans are second in the sugar honey iced tea department.
