NFL grudge match - British vs American toilet paper

As American football's New York Jets prepare to play the Miami Dolphins at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, a US journalist has discovered that among many items brought over the Atlantic by the Jets were 350 rolls of toilet paper, for the exclusive use of their players. Why so much? And is there something wrong with British toilet paper? Those are the vital questions we put to NFL broadcaster Michael Carlson, who has lived in the UK for many years. And first of all, we hear from the man who first discovered - or should that be flushed out - the news of the Jets' strange inventory - Ben Shpigel, of the New York Times.
