A totally useless fact for you all.
. . In the good old days when the butler ironed the newspapers for the master, it was to dry the printers ink, not to take the creases out of the newspaper. The ink technology wasn't too good in those days. Theses days the ink is a better composition and dries effectively, that way you do not get black fingermarks when reading the newspaper. With all talk of cutting up newspapers to hang in the reading room, I shall leave the rest to your imaginations. |

Newspaper cuttings
There was a warning from one of the bigger water companies (Possibly United Utilities but cannot be certain) about other things going down the toilet flush including the well known (For those old enough) substitute for modern toilet paper. If a blockage is caused by anything else but poo and toilet paper and it blocks up, they have technology to trace back exactly to the household where it came from. The main culprit seems to be wet wipes, but newspaper is not unknown.
In the 1st instance they would warn only, but for the 2nd and any subsequent problems they would take the householder to court to claim back the cost of the clearing out the pipes. Now that could be problematical if the house and the one next door had a common outlet into the main sewer pipe. This was not unknown in older houses. The question could be proving who reads the Sun or who reads the Telegraph. Set neighbour against neighbour, nothing like a good neighbour punch up! |

I can just about remember getting blackened fingertips from reading the papers back in the day (our butler was a lazy so-and-so ).

I do remember when printers ink changed though in the UK though, but I can't remember which newspaper was the first to use it...? I think it may have been The Times or the new kid on the block at the time, The Independent? Anyone know? Terry S |
