Credit Card-Sized Wallet Calendars
6 Answers
For many years, I used to buy a few little plastic-coated credit card-sized calendars - one for my wallet, one for the desk, and one for spare (they were always going missing!) They were always easily available in WH Smiths, Rymans, the Post Office, and many local stationery shops, and were very useful. The back of the cards had a matt finish, on which you could scribble notes in pencil.
But that choice has slowly gone down over the last few years, so for about 10 years I have ordered them online from a company that sold calendars of many different types, and they were always reliable.
But last September, when I tried to place my usual order, I got an e-mail back saying that they were no longer able to supply the items I wanted, and that they were ceasing trading. They were also unable to supply the contact details for any other company that made or supplied the items.
I was very disappointed, and tried to find any other source of these calendars via Google. But unfortunately, nothing that I found was equivalent to the items I used to get. Either they were far bigger, or made of cardboard or paper, or were an integral part of some desk unit which I didn't need. And any that looked similar had no indication of bank holidays in red, or any useful information such as summer/winter time changes, significant dates, moon phases, etc.
So... does anybody out there know of any way of getting hold of these very useful items still - or have they finally gone the way of so much that used to be part of a fast-disappearing lost world of usefulness?
