    Just my thoughts, sorry to sound too harsh.
    When I was a kid I had to learn to use a fountain pen..It had to be cleaned ,maintained and cared for and loved...
    Till the Biro`s came out then I slung it in the bin.
    Its a disposable/replaceable world these days!!

    Interesting analogy

    I remember the days of the fountain pen too, then went onto cheap disposables which whilst useful they didn't give me the same pleasure as a thing of beauty and craftsmanship like a proper fountain pen.
    Now I use a carbon fiber Dunhill fountain pen, which is a pleasure to hold

    See, that's what happens when you don't service and look after your pen on a regular basis. They have a tendency for overfilling
    Have to disagree on bread as well, much prefer the loaf you slice yourself that way depending on your mood you can either have a small portion or a nice chunk Talking of which, I used to be a baker, hated the job but I kneeded the dough

    Ive forgotten long ago since how to slice bread....The Mrs does is still pretty good though these days..
    I reckon I must have trained her pretty well when she was young.
