It's just shocking. Was he selling them? He most certainly wasn't using them - how could anyone EVER get through 3 cartridges a day!

3million according to himself on news talk.

I pity the people in his area. That's a shit load of junk mail, their green bins must be jammed. Oh, he claimed for the paper too. :stern:

And according to Mary Lou it's the governments fault for not explaining the costs better to him. :stern:

I don't believe for one minute he used them all to print stuff. It would be physically impossible to print that much on one printer and to co-ordinate it etc. Someone would need to stand at that printer 24/7... If a printer was printing 24 hours a day would it even go through 3 cartridges in one day?

I've used a standard office inkjet printer to print A4 full colour leaftelts, and you get a LOT of pages before the cartridge runs out (I know different printer models vary of course).
BUT if he was doing that much printing it would have been significantly more cost effective to use a professional printing company.

What a joke - no concept of budgeting whatsoever!

Apparently Lenister House provides a professional printing service, I don't know if they charge for it.

perhaps it was stuff they didn't want the printing company to see.

maybe he was writing a novel?
love letters?
booking holidays on the sly while he's meant to be working?
