    Against my will I now have a copy of the Sun which was delivered to my house, and it appears the whole Country got one. So did you get yours? And what should I do with mine? Best answer will be acted on.

    I was on a lads holiday when I was younger and we ran out of loo roll, too hung over to get our ass's down the shops to buy some more we used old copies of The Sun. Worked very well. :)

                  Haven't tried vinegar but used to wash windows professionally and would use a couple drops of Dawn dish washing soap and it worked great. Other soaps worked but Dawn was the best and left no streaks. Learned about the news paper trick from a friend that detailed cars for a living.

                      Put it on your neighbor's porch tomorrow morning. See if they notice getting the same paper two days in a row.

                        It's also really good for screen wiper blades: because they get covered in all sorts of gunk and it cuts through it nicely without damaging the rubber (or whatever they are made of these days). When I rode motorcycles all the time, I learned another use for dish washing liquid: a single drop rubbed over the inside of the visor and "buffed" stops it misting up on the inside for about a week. Works with spectacles as well.

                                    That makes one think of many things. Like what the normal loo roll was made out of. Or what the Sun was made out of. And of course what "worked very well" means.
