WOnder if that still applies to the Westpac cheques?  Presumably they come
from the same printer, so I'd guess so.  This also explains the numerous
paper cuts I receive when tearing the sodding cheques from the book...

True, and it takes too long to retrain them after each weekend off.

Wow, disk-driven dunnies!  What will they think of next?  :)

I'm curious as to where these massive drives fit in the cistern, and for
what purpose?  Different flush according to the size of the turd dropped,
perhaps?  BTW, if there are any of these things left over, you still have
my address. :)
