Out of interest, what job it that? I've worked pretty much paperless since the mid 1990s. Curiously VM still require a copy of expense claims on paper (maybe it's an HMRC requirement?), but I print very little else.

Apologies for butting in on your conversation SP, but in food retail we use masses of paper on a daily basis. In waitrose all managers have been issued with Ipads, but the apps we use are pretty awful, and sadly they will not stop us using paper. An example of the paper we have to use/waste is that despite the fact we have to hand write a brief description of any changes to internal policy on a (paper) weekly checklist to show our understanding of the changes, we now have to print hard copies of the information gfrom the intranet and keep that sheet as well. This is all preventable as all the changes are stored online anyway. Complete waste of our time.
Other areas we have to use lots paper include the shop being separated into 5 different sections, and each section has to print off at least 2 different pages of rota's for each week. If a customer wants shopping delivered, we have 2 copies of the paperwork, one for us, one for the customer. If you were to walk in and order a case of wine to be picked up in 5 weeks time, again it will be 2 copies of paperwork (although they would go to 2 different sections this time.) Each section also has daily rotas, in which we write who is in each day because we need 2-3 people a day to run the sections and passing a paper copy along to next person in charge is the only way we can do it.
We go really do go through reams of paper a month, thankfully it is all recycled.

Providing FTA broadcasting continues (and I believe it should) surely letting all content providers sell their content via their own streaming services is the future? At least that way you can pick and choose what you want to watch, and mange how much you want to spend per month.
