I must admit, this made me chuckle:

That hasn’t been made clear, but no doubt you could wipe your arse on the amount of red tape required to re-stock anything at a big company. God forbid someone just nips into Boots at the terminal, back in 10 minutes..."
I agree! Though I recall, maybe mistakenly, that only particular types of toilet roll are allowed aboard, and certainly not due to cost cutting, and that is why a 3-ply is not supplied in F loos.
