I use Harrods towels, but to be fair my housekeeper does the holding and I have for sometime suspected she is selling them on eBay and using towels from Aldi.

I'd always thought 'Over' until I had one arm in a sling and it became obvious that one-handed operation is much easier with 'Under'; you can use the top of your hand to stop the roll from moving as your fingers pull at the perforations.

So there you go: 'Under', because when you return from A&E with your arm in a sling, the last thing you need to be doing is reversing the orientation of a goddamn toilet roll.

[edit: I'm surprised this isn't mentioned on the Wiki page!]
