Pens #brexit

🕛︎ - 2021-01-10

As Great Britain has left the European Union, I have to find a new place to buy pens, ink, pencils and other related things, as going through the hassle of paying import tax and significant fees when ordering from my, otherwise, favourite shop Cultpens is untenable.

One of the pens I usually buy a pack of is the rotring Tikky Graphic Drawing Pen (0.3mm) - I prefer them for writing, taking notes etc. over the cheap ballpoint pens we get at work.

Where can I buy the rotrings now? Preferably in Denmark and at least within the EU, and preferably from an independent shop.

I have chosen to use a more old school method of spam prevention.
