Title: Apey will love this!!!!
Post by: Nick on July 01, 2022, 01:43:10 PM
I have been filling in about billion forms for my conveyancers. Most are online but some have to be printed, signed, witnessed and posted

My printer is knackered so I downloaded the lot onto a data stick (about 50 pages) and went to Rymans

Me: Can you print everything on this stick please
Them: Yes, sir, £2.50 per PAGE Shocked: Shocked: Shocked: Shocked:
Me: But there are 50 pages!!
Them: Yes sir, that will be £125

 Shocked: Shocked:

Today I took my Kurd to the Loughborough University Open Day (he wants to do a Masters Degree there)

I went to the university Print Shop and asked them just to print it all

It came back collated and stapled in 2 minutes

How much

76p!!!!

They are lying and utterly ruthless. I have worked in universities. Greed, avarice and utterly toxic cultures.  VCs are raking in £250K a year and using short term contracts to drive down staff costs. Meanwhile, they cultivate international stuff where students (from China mainly) are paying £30 K a year for courses. FFS, Nottm University has built a replica of itself in China!!
