Pencil museum

[B00]

No, I kid you not, there really is one!

My friend, who's on holiday for a couple of days has just texted me to say she's off to a Pencil museum, and my immediate thought was "My God...why?"

Can you imagine a more boring place to visit? Would the conversations in there go something like "ooo look, there's a pencil" shuffle a few steps "there's another" shuffle a few more steps "ahhh but look, an OLD pencil!"?

In case anyone REALLY fancies going, and again...why? This is it!

There isa pen museum in Birmingham too...

I expect there will soon be an exhibit of blotting paper through the ages and how biros changed the world

Heard this discussed on the radio some time ago. Apparently it's a wonderful place to visit??

She's with her little girl who's 7 and apparently out of all the leaflets of places to visit, this was "THE ONE" chosen by her.

Kids are weird!

Really TOH?

Gotta admit, even after seeing the website, it aint selling itself to me- sorry :P

What's the point of that?

[rowanwitch]

Think how little girls like the glittery fluffy pens and pencils ...we have grown women here who have huge collections in pots on their desks and woe betide you if you borrow one

Now see Chucky, I can see that one being hysterical. Wandering round looking at the exhibits doubled up with laughter.
