I got mine from WHSmiths, own brand, nearly 20 years ago.

I have used the Amazon Basics 5-6 Sheet Cross-Cut for 5+ years. Very happy with it. Link to Amazon site

Anything they have in Rymans. They won't want people at the cash till complaining that their shredder packed up after three uses.

A side trip for paper shredders: don't forget to lubricate the blades.

From when I bought mine years ago, the recommendation was to get one that cross cuts small and not just strips...

Cross cut is better for confidential waste, but someone would have to be very very keen to piece a bill together from a normal shredder...

We had a simple shredder at work. The department manager did the annual pay review and then shredded the papers with the figures on. Or at least, tried to...

We were not supposed to tell each other what we were being paid and we soon found out why. Somebody discovered that the shredder was jammed and fished out the semi-shredded document. He sellotaped the paper strips back together and distributed photocopies of the repaired document. Some people were being paid double what others were for doing the same work. The lowest paid person was the only woman in the office. She was better at the job than the highest paid man! Major rumblings of discontent after that episode...!

As for the US embassy in Iran... Oops!

Went to Currys.
The website indicated a good selection in store. They had 4 to choose from so I went for a Rexel @ £44. Got to the till and it was a different model @ £30. Its a "confetti cut" shredder that takes 5 sheets. Very light compared to the old one.
We shall see

A colleague of mine did that in the 80's, ciggy in hand, in went the tie. It wasn't a fancy auto stop one either - colleagues had to rush to his aid.
