anyone know of a good shredder i can buy for my 76 yr old dad

[cutekids]

in other words, something easy to use....!
mum said he needed a "cross something or over" one!!!

I got mine from homebase for 9.99 and i find it fine

can't put more than two sheets in at once

but it does only shred straight

Your mum probably meant a cross cut shredder which shreds horizontally as well as vertically. I saw a good value one somewhere, I'll have a think and see if I can remember where.

Lakeland have a very good value \link{http://www.lakelandlimited.co.uk/product.aspx/!5617\straight} cut one, and a \link{http://www.lakelandlimited.co.uk/product.aspx/!20571\cross} cut at the same price as Argos.

I have a feeling that the cheap one I saw as at Woolworths, but I'm a bit hazy on that, it could have been Tesco or Asda.

Woolies have quite a choice \link{http://www.woolworths.co.uk/ww_p2/search/search.jhtml?disableGlobalFredHopper=true&_requestid=21091\here}

why do you want to shredd your dad?

\link{http://www.woolworths.co.uk/ww_p2/product/index.jhtml?pid=50517019\This} one looks particularly good for ease of use as your dad won't break it if he feeds staples through it.

I'm going to stop now, I'm even boring myself.

Echoing almostanangel - what has your poor old Dad done to deserve being shredded???
