To some of you it might come as a surprise that David Cameron's government are bulk buying Filofax organisers to issue to Whitehall civil servants.
However, in these times of austerity measures and economic downturn the Chancellor George Osborne turned down Whitehall mandarin's requests to equip civil servants with iPads and other fancy tablets.
Philofaxy in conjunction with Filofax UK met last week to decide on what models would suit which Civil Service grades. Steve an former long serving UK Civil Servant himself was well placed to assist Filofax UK to decide on Filofax organiser recommendations to be put forward to the Treasury Office supporting this return to pen and paper initiative.
I suspect by the time you read this post the lorry load of Apex's will be delivered to Whitehall....
Oh nice one Steve!!! Lol
ReplyDeleteHaha best place for Apex!!!! If its good enough as a Filofax competition giveaway it's good enough for them :)
ReplyDeleteSurely not the Apex...A domino maybe.... Or maybe the Affair? (Yes that one is a bit cruel in more ways than one)
ReplyDeleteThe treasury civil,servants have their Recovery Plans in a Sketch(y) whilst George Osborne has imported an Ostritch ( think about that one!).
ReplyDeleteGeorge likes to get noticed... he likes to be different to those other boys from Eton... so just to spite his chums Boris and 'call me Dave' he went for the canary yellow one...
DeleteAnd thank you to Thomas for the idea about this one...
ReplyDeleteAs always, it was a very special pleasure to do this with you, Steve!!! Thank you for writing it so brilliantly!

I'd love it to be true..... but there's a poisson like smell about this because 1. It would make sense 2. It would save money 3. It would just be so cool 4. Filofaxes would solve the transparent folder leaking indiscreet issues problem.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea!
Loved this piece of repartie!!!
