Comments on the clue
1.Contrived wordplay (ew?) and the two parts of the clue separated by the colon bear little relation to each other
2.If the bog roll is empty, it won't stop him/her from flushing away the turd….
3.Enjoyed it but not sure I would ever have solved it!
4.Nice misleading def. Roll and empty used well. Great, playful surface. Too complex???
5.Not an appealing surface
