toilet roll metrics
I've just been to the supermarket. I elected to buy the 18 pack of toilet roll, because it was only 10.8p per sht, and hence offered the best value.

What about guests? (Score:2)
How does this work if you have guests? We need to know what figures you based your calculation on..? ;-)

I didn't do any calculation. I'm only quoting their price comparison line (verbatim). I could keep score for a while and give a more honest answer (for some other interpretation of sht) but richardc has already hinted that this would be too much information.
