I followed your advice! I had an old can of it out in the shed, so in 
went the tapes :-)

They didn't have the larger one that you recommended from their website 
locally, and I wanted to try it before ordering it and waiting. I 
actually opted for an Officeworks one on special with a much longer 
warranty and is a much better shredder (the Mrs will be using it, too, 
and it's rated for moderate use).

I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my 
neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. Complications in 
hospital following this resulted in a serious illness. I now need a bone 
marrow transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a marrow 
transplant, too. Please volunteer to be a marrow donor:
