Good old NHS!
What a cool find! Extraordinary.
Stationery Traffic and Palimpsest, thank you for your comments.
The folks at the NHS seem to be quite creative! – It is indeed a cool find of my reader Max, and I am happy that he had shared that information. To be honest, the BMJ doesn’t belong to my preferred literature ;-)
Thanks for posting this, Gunther. There is a tradition of people finding creative ways of saving money in the NHS, which historically has had to work under tight budgets.
Plus, I never knew that graphite pencil is the best way to mark human bone. (A piece of information I have no intention of using!)
My pleasure! This tradition of creativity is something special ;-) I was suprised about that aspect of graphite too; however, I was aware of its resistance against water and sunlight.
