8 Year Anniversary Commemorative Pen

"Not £10 each! Not even £5 each!", said the letter accompanying this sample pen that was posted to me this week. "Buy 500 + get 500 free!"

I believe the idea is that I buy lots to give to my "business contacts", so that they never forget me, but I suspect it would take me a good deal longer than a year to find 1000 people who would like a ballpoint pen, before the 9 year anniversary ones are ready.

It does work (which is better than lots of pens in our house), and it does helpfully remind me where I live, which is nice. I think I can probably make do with just the one though.
