About the Author
Hugh Jassburn has being pooing since 1974. After several months of producing a variety of stools (mostly in washable and reusable nappies) he moved on to disposables. By 1978 Frank was a regular toilet user and hasn't looked back since. He is not a fan of cheap toilet paper, and strongly believes the flap should always be at the front of the roll. Hugh lives in Shitterton, Dorset, and dreams of moving to Pratt's Bottom in Kent one day.
