My hand writing is shocking, I have never wrote more than two lines since I left school 10 years ago, filling out the back of a prescription is the only time I have to write now.
Heh, I remember copying letters, and how they joined to another from the blackboard. We had to repeat it over and over and over, then add them to words.
filling out the back of a prescription is the only time I have to write now.

I did all of that and got battered for not getting it right, the church school was the worst much like Shambles describes, I'm not convinced I wasn't left handed as I picked a pencil first with my left hand bu at the time they "encouraged" you to use your right.
My writing is shameful and like I said I hold a pen like a left handed person, so if using an ink pen, which was compulsory at the church school my hand would be resting on the line I'd [its written so I'd have to have a piece of blotting paper to cover the line I'd just written which made i difficult to keep up and so my handwriting was worst as I got anxious and rushed it. I can see that now but obviously not then.
Its something I often mention and talked about in counselling, I don't mind people taking the piss out of it because its there in black and white and undeniably shit, I've even gone so far as to scan a form and then use Photoshop to type in the details.
I have gone back to an ink pen as I suffer RSI in my right hand a little, its probably related to a motorcycle accident but they can;t be sure so I can't use a normal mouse I use a track ball and that doesn't cause me the problem but I also cant right with a ballpoint for any time, I seem to pres to hard or something and my hand then aches really badly so ironically I use an ink pen again.
Now my writing is a scrawl of joined up capitals that even I have trouble reading, I use a computer more and more, I would never give anyone in my work place anything in my handwriting unless I really had to, if I cant get a soft copy then I have to painstakingly print in my very best printed capitals which takes an age.
Anything official is filled in by Mrs atm and I just sign....in fact didn't I sign a cheque the other day and I haven't sen her since ???![]()
Bring back the art of hand writing! I love nothing more than getting a hand written letter.
Price of stamps just went up 39% get em now b4 they implement it .
Has the ACMD put in a scathing report on the dangers of stamp abuse then?
Saw a clip of Thatch recently and I'm pretty sure she died some time ago.
Agreed. But I haven't had one (cards don't count) since about 1992. You really still get them CCF?
Did you see the Pope on TV yesterday getting off a plane? Absolutely dead as a dead thing, being remote controlled or something.
