But I'd consider keeping them if they made noteable places to eat depending on which city you lived in. Anything food related gets me interested. Lol. Then again, I don't know how'd they do that considering people who use Filofaxes come from all parts of the world.

I still will refer to info in my planner first, though. If I know I have a phone number or map in my planner I will choose to use that most of the time; it's just faster! But a google search on my blackberry fills in many blanks. Plus saves the time of dialing!

Even when I was in school (highschool/college) the spiral bound planners that they give always either had the those similar pages in the beginning or end of the agenda. I seldom refer to them. BUT at that point it was more useful since one was in school so might actually see the conversion table or the periodic table, etc. <br /><br /Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-80932289119410489132013-02-20T09:17:36.413-05:002013-02-20T09:17:36.413-05:00I had no idea that the BBC no longer broadcasts it...I had no idea that the BBC no longer broadcasts its World Service via short wave!
