Half of us say the throne in every home is a source of creativity

Creative block is something most Brits have experienced – often on more than one occasion – but it turns out the key to unlocking creative juices may be closer to home than first thought.

New research from eco-friendly toilet paper company, Who Gives A Crap, released for World Creativity Day reveals that over a quarter of Brits (27%) have cracked a winning idea while behind the bathroom door, with over half (53%) saying their lightbulb moment struck when they were, quite literally, sitting on the edge of their (toilet) seat.
