Jeff Wrangler:
You're kidding! You mean they don't make ink erasers anymore?  :o

And they still use fountain pens in Germany?  :o

I wonder whether they still make carbon paper?  ???

We had them when I was in school. But they weren't on top of the pens. Some of the hand held erasers had both a pencil and pen eraser on it - pink on one side for the pensil, and white or silver on the other side for the ink. But you had to be very careful otherwise you'd tear a hole in your paper when you tried to erase off the ink. It was nearly as hard as stone!

I wonder what the kids do over here when they need to erase their mistakes written in ink? Please don't tell me they all carry a bottle of "white out" in their pockets! :laugh:

That would be so "American" wouldn't it? :laugh: ;D

I'm glad Hannah enjoyed German school Chrissi and Leslie. This will be something she will never forget and cherish for the rest of her life! :)

I remember those pink and white erasers/rubbers. You could get them in dark grey and white as well and you are right,rub too hard and you ended up with a hole in the paper.
I got many a rap on the knuckles from the nuns for that. In fact I am so old I can remember slide rules and logarithm tables.

We wer the first year to be allowed to take calculators, into exams. I loved my first fountain pen,it was a Prker blue and silver !!!  Happy days, permanantly blue stained fingers though !!
