Greetings From Sunny Lancashire


HGJ1948

Recommended Posts

Hello Everybody, My Name is Howard and I have just been accepted by our moderators, Thanks to them.

I live in East Lancashire , England, About 20 miles north of Manchester. I have used fountain pens all my life and always owned three or four. Recently chanced upon a batch at an auction and now hooked properly. I am a member of WES and have completed their pen repair course, Did that for my benefit, not to enter the repair field professionally.

Anyone else in the NW give me a shout. Best Wishes to all, Howard.

Hello and welcome to FPN, from Cape Town, South Africa.

To sit at one's table on a sunny morning, with four clear hours of uninterruptible security, plenty of nice white paper, and a [fountain] pen - that is true happiness!

Hi Howard, from a damp Leeds. Originally from Clitheroe, in the Ribble Valley.

 

:W2FPN:

Hi Malcolm, Thanks for the Welcome. I am in Haslingden in the Rossendale valley, I Visit the auction house in Clitheroe regularly in the hope they will have some good pens and only dealers to contend with! It doesn't happen very often. Plus of course I was joking about it being Sunny here. All the best - Howard

Hello and welcome to you from in between Bolton & Manchester.....

 

Think your place has a fire station in the middle of the roundabout at the end of the m/way ?

Could be wrong but went to a steam engine event some years ago over that way.

Hello, Mr Pen Nut, You are talking about Rawtenstall, I live 2 miles or so to the west in Haslingden. All classed as the Rossendale Valley. My Mrs was from Kearsley, not far from you I assume. Best Wishes. Howard Jones

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
