GregP Nov 2022 8:36am, 28 Nov 2022 140,881 posts	0 GregP A5 has been making a bit of a comeback as a sort of halfway house between loose leaf and bullet journal - all parts of the, for want of a better expression, anti digital backlash. Weirdly popular among clergy, too.

3M (aka MarkyMarkMark) Nov 2022 10:42am, 28 Nov 2022 19,768 posts	0 3M (aka MarkyMarkMark) I think you're both right - kind of! "In 1921, a UK company, Norman and Hill, began making the Lefax. The name Filofax (File of Facts) was coined by a secretary Grace Scurr, who eventually became chairman of the business. In those days the Filofax was mainly used for military, scientific and ecclesiastical data." retrowow.co.uk
