Fact: I have had the same bookmark for over twenty years, and still have (and use) the pen I sat my O Grades and Higeres with. Yet I always lose red biros and till receipts in a matter of hours.

I'm still using the bookmark I got in (IIRC) '94 (the year the film Jurrassic Park came out anyway - that was the first book I read using it)

But in my English GCSEs exams - my fountin pen died in the first, so I had to finish it in biro & my biro died in the second one, so I had to finish it in pencil.
