I have every confidence that DS will understand my rage. He is a man with values.

And with a blotted copybook too no doubt  whistle:

A man on his third wife will surely have so many that he has had his man build a bookcase to keep them in, especially if said wives kept notes.

You probably won't like the idea Snoops but why not digitise your signature?  razz:

I have reached new depths of cheapskatery by guillotining an old stash of A3 into A4   whistle:   redface:

Mainly because I am so old fashioned that I type the letters but handwrite the name at the beginning and sign my name at the end. It sort of comes over as more personal that way & people seem to like that personal touch. Once a salesman ~ always a salesman.  ;)

No I think the answer was supplied, perhaps unintentionally perhaps not, by Marley. I shall invest in some better quality paper for the covering letters and take Nick's advice and use a Bic for all the rubbish forms I have to sign for various people/schools etc. It is, after all, just a habit to reach for my fountain pen when I want to hand write something and how hard can it be to place a single sheet of decent paper into the printer so that the letter is on quality paper and the file copy on cheap crap.

Typed as BM's solution was being posted.

A fine solution  :thumbsup:
Different paper for different tasks; I use a heavyish 160gr for invoices as it feels more substantial (matching my hourly rate or part thereof  ;) ) and 80gr for general stuff. Gloss and silk finish photo paper for presentations come in handy ...

"Dear Ms Izal Medicated..."

I do of course appreciated Snoopy's frustration, although Tesco Value printer paper seems OK in that respect.

You could always sign in lemon juice then get Growler to warm the paper with his lighter.

I'll shall simply ignore that sarcasm towards me up there^^^ that's becoming so so prevelant in your posts aimed at me lately Mr DS. Banghead

Meanwhile, WHAT exactly having I been preaching about regarding this digi shite for the last god knows how many months ey, what, I ask you's? Shrugs:

No one listens to me though. You just laf at me. cry:

Tell you, a good ole type writer is the way forward, and it's retro too, and that's all the rage currently.
No electricity, no black magic or witchcraft, just nice and easy and simples...really!

Laf if you want, but I reckon it's yet another TOP TOP tip from the dungeons of GROWLERS TOP tips. cloud9:
