In this article it states that the cost of photocopying is over £1m. Now given that there were two sides, so two photocopiers and presumably quite a lot of paper and a couple of YTS trainees to press the little button and put more paper in, how the fk can a legal case run up £1m of photocopying?

It would be cheaper to rent a monastery's worth of monks, pluck a few geese and use real ink to make the copies, or am I missing something here?

We once had a young yts girl in the office, all the usual wind ups were boring so we tried to see how far she would go ( with the wind ups......... )

Faxes that she was told to send folded over as they were confidential, the person would open them up again at the other end............

But to reply to the O/P, told her we were running low on blank paper could she please photocopy some, which she did................maybe she is still out there..........

Trainees are charged out at £130 ph or more. So, that's one trainee on each side photocopying 8 hrs a day for 2 years. But, that doesn't iclude cost of paper, photocopier or office space.
