Wrong. Saw a film inside the PPA recently.
The scripts arrive by the bucketful. Large room with a million ladies
in it. Each desk piled high with bundles of FP10s tied up in brown
string.
Each FP10 is checked by hand. One after one after one.
This is all true.
I think weighing is a bit too advanced.
Even if they weigh them, why can't the formula change to accommodate
the extra weight of A4? Rocket science?
