Having popped in to Staples, I ended up buying myself an Oxford Set of Mathematical Instruments. They still come in a tin, like they've always done. Good to see some things don't change

One of the minor perks of my 11 plus scholarship was that, each year, the State paid for me to have a variety of stationery goods from the School Shop: several folders, some pens and pencils, various other things I've forgotten, and a pristine new Oxford Set of Mathematical Instruments. Despite having had a new one every year for six years (I didn't know about it the first year) I don't have a complete set left; though I still have several of the tins containing assorted oddments like loose nuts and bolts, either here or sitting in a box of stuff in my parents' loft.

So now that I have my nice new protractor, set squares, and pair of compasses, I am prepared for whatever the autumn may bring

You read about that kid who got sent home from skool coz he didn't have a compass, didn't you.

This is worse than the finals dream.

That I endured the other night.

Again.

Stock up! Then in 30 years you can flog them all to nostalgic middle aged mathematicians.

I think most of the back to school stuff has been replaced with tins of heroes and celebrations. Plus last week I saw a row of mince pies

I won't mention the 'C' word but bought first present last week. Only because there was a 20% discount on the product if we used eldest unidays app on her phone
