They don't know what they want, we do ...").<br /><br />On the contrary ... Filofax posted on David's blog, asking him to meet the PR firm ...<br />An intermediate approach, perhaps?<br />So, it is apparently letter (e) above, for the moment.gdigesuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11651977530203015614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-14053301195223173232012-09-19T18:26:16.854-04:002012-09-19T18:26:16.854-04:00Darn!!!

I use a personal Hampshire and although I like some of the newer designs, I have no plans to discontinue with the Hampshire. It has stood the test of time - the leather and stitching are still A1 and I have never had a problem with the ring mechanism. It is beautifully made, and it and I have bonded!<br /><br />I read Jacqui Emmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14469962141780821936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-50052682268542980782012-09-19T04:27:02.369-04:002012-09-19T04:27:02.369-04:00David don't forget to breathe....peace...David don't forget to breathe....peace...Deborah Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10640074968145341995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-38598425548418689082012-09-19T04:05:32.195-04:002012-09-19T04:05:32.195-04:00OK one more time...... have now emailed everyone I...OK one more time...... have now emailed everyone I *think* needs to be in on the Slam R/Flofax meeting preparation dialogue.

Brands typically retain longevity by their quality. Despite the sensory appeal of their planners I believe that in the long term customers will bow out because of seriously declining quality, ever rising prices, and the realization that the product did not stand the test of time.Savannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17003825861681005048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-36217161048489899412012-09-18T18:29:28.235-04:002012-09-18T18:29:28.235-04:00I think they tell themselves that so they can just...I think they tell themselves that so they can justify their wages and dividends dear..call me synical perhaps...Deborah Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10640074968145341995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-13758692166976158632012-09-18T18:02:58.167-04:002012-09-18T18:02:58.167-04:00David,
