Ebay or amazon. The brand is Pica. They sell a few different versions. All are very good

Ok so just to clear things up.

I was mistaken I’m afraid, it wasn’t Terry Dale that removed you Jerry, so I hope you’re not already stalking him.
Sorry Jerry for giving you the wrong info.

So I'm going to try and get in touch with the cleaner before it's to late ( if you've watched Leon you'll know ) . But I did contact the very honourable mister Walsh and asked wether the person that booted me had left he replied yes , so on that basis I asked if I could be reinstated , (there is my misplaced pride gone) . I've not heard back yet so maybe the lay of the land has changed .

don't understand how people has time for Facebook, isn't this forum enough to keep everyone entertained? Or people like the world know your business?

It’s really good. The refill pack I got has lead and then red and yellow they wash off. But you can get ones that are not as water soluble which they say can be used on tiles when wet cutting. I’m going to see how the soluble ones I have cope on the wet cutter before seeing if I need to get the other ones.

If anyone has any experience please let me know

You can get them online. Amazon and other tool shops. I got mine from a local electrical wholesalers

Good question and if they do can you clean them off easily.

Dammit- no joke, yesterday I thought the Pica looked OK but I thought they were a bit of a novelty idea and didn’t think I wanted them or they did anything that a standard pencil couldn’t do. If I want a thin pencil, I get my blade on it, etc.

If these Pica can mark various materials then I can really see the benefit. Oh well, maybe I’ll get some afterall. Damn you forum.

Julian- As a general rule, Facebook overtook forums many years ago and I’ve seen a lot of forums fold or become quiet since Facebook came on to the scene. I don’t use Facebook for everyday ‘life’ stuff but moreso the groups, groups that have your specific interests in. Not just tiling groups but anything you might be interested in.

Facebooks to big, to unregulated, collect to much data on us and for those reasons I'm out.

I only bought one as impulse purchase. You know how supermarkets took away sweets from checkouts to stop kids being a pain in the arse. They should do that at merchants ! Would save me. I must have bought about 6 marxmans

I have been on facebook since 2009,
I just need to keep in touch with friends around Italy.
apart from the 4 cats that are also here on the forum,
few of my friends know the job I do.
the others do not. therefore I am not interested in informing my work,
indeed I prefer not to know.
