Things people say when they find out that I have a Filofax (or two) - Anita

Anita originally wrote this post back in January 2014, it deserved repeating because I still hear some of these comments over 10 years later!

  • Why would you use one of them, don't you have a smartphone?
  • Haha, isn't that what Yuppies used in the 80s? 
  • Oh, you're like Del Boy from Only Fools And Horses! 
  • You went up to London for the day to meet other Filofax owners? (they found that one very amusing)
  • You saddo (my response was that I preferred 'quirky', thank you very much) 
  • Are you a technophobe? 
  • I think my Dad used to have one of those
  • Hang on a sec, I think I've got my old one in the cupboard (only happened the once unfortunately)
  • Wow, that's beautiful, please can I open it?
  • The diary is so much easier to read than on my iPhone
  • I prefer a paper diary really and all those pockets look really useful 
  • That's very cool in a retro sort of way
  • What a beautiful clutch bag (when I've been using it as my wallet)
  • Would you buy me one as I'm not sure where to start?
What have you heard said when someone sees you with a Filofax?
