  1. At first glance you may skip over it, but everyone here should read the top story (no. 1 above) from today's Scotsman ("French firm in the frame as diary maker Letts goes up for sale again"). This could have enormous consequences for the future of Filofax.
    1) Letts (Letts Filofax Group) is the company that owns Filofax.
    2) The CEO of LFG is to announce the trading figures for 2011 shortly. He is already hinting that they will be bad. We all know that!
    3) The venture capitalists that own the bulk of LFG are rumoured to want out. VC's don't usually hang around in declining markets.
    4) Groupe Exacompta Clairefontaine. Who are they? They are a huge firm involved in all sorts of paper/ stationery/ office things. Most interestingly, they own Quo Vadis, the nearest French product to Filofax. If they succeed in purchasing Letts Filofax, what will happen. Range consolidation for sure!

    We shouldn't speculate too much, but turbulent times may lie ahead...

    1. I had similar thoughts, Tim. At least from the American viewpoint, the Filofax brand is much better established than QuoVadis, which would help keep Filofax viable. But one must wonder what we will see in the future.

    2. One obvious benefit would have to be a paper upgrade. Clairefontaine paper is of peerless quality. I might do a somersault the day I see Personal cut-and-punched Rhodia quadrille or Dot Grid refills. . .
