Pens
BallPoint
bic crystal - FR - surely the worlds most accessible pen.. just works. cheap.
pilot bps - JP - this is my favourite 'cheap' ballpoint. esp in retractble.
stabilo pointball - DE - this one suprised me.. g2 refill. really nice smooth writer, good in teh hand, and very afforable. but very 'orange'
parker jotter - GB/FR - just a classic. good pen, looks smart, and won't break the bank if lost. g2 refill available everywhere.
caran dache 849 - CH - alternatice to a jotter.. understated class. love it. harder to get, not cheap and refills limitted.
