I think four-hole hole-punchers might still be tough to get. But you only need them if you're re-using a folder you got on a training course for something you actually care about. And folders are 12p for 10 at the supermarket too.

They're not the handy source of things they used to be. Scale Rulers, 20 different shades of paper and proper card, techincal drawing pens, gusseted envelopes, hole punches and tippex thinner are all things of the past; which all need a 20 page business case before they dip their hands into petit cash.
This old town it ain't what it used to be, ain't what its used to be...
