You couldn't, at the time, print "Property of HM Government" on every sheet of Andrex or Kleenex...as if somebody would actually consider stealing it for personal, home use🤣🤣🤣

Just think of the money saved by printing a theft deterrent on a product nobody wanted to steal.
 
 
In a great example of the ultimate bathroom kitsch, I remember my family visiting a (very) elderly relative long, long ago, and as well as providing Izal in the lavatory, there was a spare roll with one of those knitted lady in a big dress covers over it! I think I remember it so clearly as I had never seen one before, and I have never seen one in the wild since.

This was way before anyone would have even thought of doing such a thing ironically!😮

That should have has some sort of award as the worst product design ever. You might as well have picked up a turd and smeared it directly all over your arse.
