Anyhoo, dragging myself back on topic; whilst on a ground tour at XW a couple of years back I used to eat in the mess at lunchtime every day of the 'working' week. It seemed the dishwasher broke down every fortnight judging by the paper plate proliferation. Even so, t'was better than eating at one's desk, which seemed all too prevalent amongst my colleagues - or worse still they'd spend lunchtime at the gym!
The main problem with paper plates was that they were considerably smaller than the earthenware ones, thus resulting in a lack of space for sufficient chips with one's burger.
