Bank Gift...
Permalink  

I see Australian Banks are offeringthe gift of a free pencil-sharpener in gratitude for the 36 Billion Dollar extortion profit they got

out of customers during the last 12 months....

It is uniquely designed to reflect the friendly and even intimate relationship that Australian Bank's have built up with the Australian Public/Clients/Customers......Hoo Roo

2B or not 2B, that is the question, except when they're colour pencils.

I was hoping to identify the bank via the grading of the pencils, until I realised they were colour.

According to the following guide, Derwent Studio are the hardest colour pencils. I reckon they would be preferred by the Commonwealth Bank (they would use 9H or 10H for graphite).

Interestingly, Caran D'Ache are the softest pencils.
