When NFL team the New York Jets take to the field at Wembley on Sunday, the US players should feel right at home.
Nothing has been left to chance in preparing the Jets for their game against the Miami Dolphins - with the team even bringing their own toilet roll because the British variety is too thin.
An astonishing 5,000 items have been brought to the UK by ship for the six NFL teams who will play in London.
Among the items being brought to London, according to the New York Times, which spoke to Aaron Degerness, The Jets’ senior manager of team operations, are:

I think Americans are spoiled by the very high quality of toilet paper available for sale here. Not that many countries sell toilet paper anything like what we have here (maybe Japan and South Korea are the exceptions).
I always figured the London game was just a lot of roll playing
How many British toilets will our plush toilet paper clog?
But I'm not a pro football player. We might not want to go there.
Weird
That’s thoughtful of them to put a drinking fountain in the room.
And then there is that commercial with the English gal trying to get us to use special “wipes.”
Talk about something that justified the Revolution...
Kinda like what we use to wrap lunch meat is what I remember. I remember a hole in the floor and a women with a kid walking in behind me in a cafe in Paris.
voice, so the Jets are s#*tty? Who knew? lol
Charmin for me. - I like the big rolls of original Charmin. Not the stuff that’s more like cloth than toilet paper.
- Grew up on an outdoor toilet and the Sears & Roebuck catalog. (The Charmin doesn’t itch; most others are treated
with some chemical or something that I’m allergic to I reckon.) The stuff at school was VERY primitive TP.
My grandparents had a big old elegant house that had a PINK bathroom.
It had PINK tile and a PINK toilet, bathtub and sink.
And my grandmother used to exclusively buy Charmin toilet paper in PINK.
Have not seen it for years. I heard lots of women started showing up at their doctor’s thinking they had got the herpes when in fact they were having an allergic reaction to their colored toilet paper.
Some prankster might put Exlax in the team meal before the game.

I remember the French “hole in the floor toilet” . I am a woman and had to undress to make sure I was over it just to pee. Wouldn’t you know it there was a man on the roof peeking at me.
I think I screamed something that they had not heard a Texan say since WW2.
Guess they didn’t want to be caught asking, “Can you spare a square?”
If you had told anyone over there about it, you would have gotten that stupid shrug that they do. I had a Depardieu look alike on the Metro show me how he used to fight in the old days. Fists stopping inches from my nose. I looked him straight in the eye and he ambled away. A french dude translated that he had actually been a boxer and was probably trying to scare an American tourist.
All in all it was a beautiful city. Oh, I almost forgot, I saw a salami hit his wife in a McDonalds. He slapped her with a hand he brought from behind his head. No reaction whatever in the place. This was 96.
