[QUOTE="Mr Sworld, post: 24649, member: 184"] What is a true origin of a saying is where 'blackmarket' comes from. When graphite was first discovered in a naturally occurring form it was considered highly valuable and was well protected. However, as always, the stuff was smuggled out. It was sold on in a 'blackmarket'! And this is true as it says so at the pencil museum in Keswick! [/QUOTE]
