Default who needs to nick Ikea pencils any more

Had to tell everyone the bargain i got Friday.

50 pencils for £1 from Tesco's

And you get a rubber on the end! ! !

I ended up buying 250 pencils

Couldn't let this bargain go

I'll hand them out to my fitters on Monday, just to prove i do think of them on my days off

1/2p per pencil

They don't fit behind your lugs like an Ikea pencil, though - unless you cut them in half.

Anyroad, are they 2H?

simple, saw them in half and your pencils cost 1/4 pence each

if you use a hand saw then there is no electricity cost

IKEA pencil are better by virtue of the fact they are nicked..

Cheap pencils are khasi, the lead breaks when you sharpen them.

There's a similar thread on one of the Porsche forums, where one Helmut_Käse01" got ein hundert bleistifts for one Euro. That's half a cent each, Sara. Is that comparable?
