newspapers

[hope19]

I need to find out how much 50 newspapers would weigh,can anyone help.
I know it`s an odd thing,but suing employer for injury form heavy lifting.

[boxtops]

why don't you weigh one, on your kitchen scales, then multiply it by 50? A newspaper varies in size, the Sundays have all those supplements so would weigh a lot more - you need to take that into account.

[hope19]

Good idea but I haven`t any scales!!

Arun District Council rather helpfully have provided a page dedicated to newspaper weights...

Oh isn't it fascinating what district councils find to waste our money on??

[Coobeastie]

Yes I'm sure they wasted a huge amount of money adding a page to their website 3 years ago.

Couldn't you have split it into 2 packs of 25?

Coobeastie whats your problem it was a

[hope19]

Coobeastie thank you very much :)

[weecalf]

So you are thinking of " pressing " charges so to speak ?

I stopped buying the Telegraph because of weight of the junk that came with it.

The fabulous Sunday Times comes in at over a kilo. 50 of them is like lifting a very fat child.

As to the website - it's actually refreshing that employers an find guides like this.

Its not the effort spent by Arun District Council to put it on their website that grates, its the effrt a civil servant had to go to to find the answer in the first place.
Clearly must have been a slow day (week?, month?, year?) at the office there.

A bundle of sh!t like The Mail on Sunday weighs more than The Observer !!!

[Prudentia]

I can offer no comment on weight or otherwise of daily newspapers, but I can offer one observation, my cat when presented with his newspaper covered litter tray, his preference not mine, will invariably to do his business on the observer!!!

[joggerjayne]

Clearly am discerning animal ...

... who won't just poop on ANY old paper !!

[ASSAM]

I like the Guardian when my dog has the trots it seems to stick to the paper better.

[joggerjayne]

Assam ... we all have different criteria by which we judge the quality of our papers.

Yours is ... erm ... as good as any !

[ASSAM]

I wonder why it attracts the sh1t better than the mail or other papers.

buildersmate, I reckon that would have taken all of three minutes to do. After that he would have been able to go back to calculating your council tax.
