Morrison's sell a plastic container with 250m (I think) of Clingfilm inside 
it.

The beauty of this device is that you open the lid, pull the length you want 
while the box stays where you put it. Close the lid and it cuts the film - 
perfectly - where you want. In a straight line. Put the box away ready for 
next time. £6.99 I think and worth every penny.

Thanks Mary
I'll get "the one who shops" to look out for that - sounds ideal.
Part of the problem may be the kids using the standard boxed product less 
than carefully and ripping it.
I do find that the serrated blades on the boxes tend to dull quickly.

I bought one because it seemed to be good value but I like it so much that 
I've bought another for a daughter's birthday present (with other things!).

So far (months) it's cut cleanly, to the exct length I've wanted and with 
absolutely no shredding, twisting, distorting - all the frustrating things 
which happen with ordinary rolls.

If you do get one report on how you like it.

Bloody hell, it's life in the fast lane in Leeds.
