ikea pencils have changed
I am doin lots of DIY musta got through about 15 Ikea pencils..
they just wont sharpen any more.. ????? me thinks they are broken on purpose- the lead.. so that they are useful only for one use in the store- as per purpose.. cheeky monkeys ... The world is not what it used to be . I am certainly pinching no more Ikea pencils.. sticking to argos pens in future..

1. ikea supply good quality pencils 2. Quiff steals pencils cos they're good 3. Ikea can't afford to replace stolen pencils with those of a similar good quality, so has to buy cheaper pencils to stay within budget. 4. Quiff complains about the cr@p pencils and goes elsewhere. 5. Ikea loses a customer. Moral: keep investing in good free pencils if you want to keep your customers. <business management essay-writing mode off> btw, has anyone ever seen a sharpened pencil or a pencil shapener in Ikea? you could point out to them how wasteful they're being...

Re: ikea pencils have changed
Get one of those mechanical pencils, they're always sharp, maybe not too good for DIY though...
