Any recommendations for purchase of a paper shredder and which to avoid
Blair

MoD requirements are that the shredder "cross-cuts" - that is it shreds
lengthways and then cuts the strips crossways, making tiny little squares
of paper. Perfect for the paranoid!

I have a cheap one from B&Q which cuts into strips, taking a max of 5
sheets of 80 gsm paper. This is more than adequate for normal everyday
shredding of utility bills etc. Very few "identity thieves" are going
to try and reform a shredded document to use illegally.
