I am currently living in pencil poverty. Especially as the Screwfix charity no longer gives them out.

Yes I concur. IKEA is a wise choice for the pencil hunter/enthusiast. Tradepoint can also be considered a good source. Ikea is better in my considered opinion as their pencils are hexagonal in cross section thus more can be stored per given volume in comparison with the 'inferior' round pencil proferred by Tradepoint.Toolstation can be considered as a prime source of Red Biros as they are full size, unlike the diminutive blue product offered at Screwfix.

The biros at CPC fall between these 2 stools........... :coat

must be nice having CPC so close....

as for Ikea - at least you can get then entire familty involved with it...

few years ago my mam & grandma were there. granny was putting them in her bag by the handful, and every stand. excuse ready to go was 'she's going mad. you just cant take her anywhere!'. wasnt needed though, but got enough to last a few years, probably a few hundred!
