[QUOTE="Jeff Crawley, post: 862306, member: 41083"] When I went for the entrance interview to grammar school (not quite as exclusive as the ones in Australia) my friendly local librarian primed me with the names of some "good books" to read and advised me to take along a fountain pen in case I needed to write something. Part way through the interview the Headmaster, who was using a trusty Parker, asked if I preferred a fountain pen or a Biro; taking mine from my inside pocket raised a smile of appreciation (yes, I got in). I'm also of the generation of engineers that had to submit their own drawings when applying for membership of the supervising institution and drawings back then were hand lettered (no stencils or CAD!) so good penmanship has always been important and not something you stop doing - even my scribbled notes are legible!
