I think american paper is a different size to our lovely british standard A4 so maybe their reams are a different size (ie smaller) to ours? Or maybe they use forklift trucks to move them everywhere?
It still amuses me that we spend more per annum on photocopying paper in our office than on my pay... And the fact that we changed contracted suppliers for cost etc when the new ones cost more, have a shitty nightmare catalogue, take longer to deliver and have less products available. (Will shut up before I continue to rant inanely about procurement issues...)
