Filofax in films and real-life

Spotting a Filofax organiser in a film or TV series or in real life is always good fun. 

Our dear friend Janet (This Bug's Life) has been 'collecting' these spots in films and TV series for years. There isn't a month that goes by without someone sharing one they have seen. 

You will find her collection here: The ultimate compilation of films featuring ringed organisers (updated Nov ’24)

Keep looking out for them in films etc. 

Now the second type of sighting is a difficult one.... What do you do if you spot someone else using a Filofax in real life? 

I have seen a stranger in a cafe/bar with their organiser on the table here in France and I was tempted to go over and introduce myself armed with a Philofaxy business card, but I chickened out! 

I was once spotted in real life waiting to board a tube train in London, and a guy who was getting off the train said 

'Are you Steve Morton?' 

"Yes I am" 

'Yes you are just like on the podcast' 

Then  he was gone and I had got on the train thinking what just happened! But it was quite amusing thinking back to it now. Matthew emailed me later that day!! 

I hope if anyone else sees me who recognises me that we get to have a longer chat! 

Do you spot other Filofax users?
