My only reaction to this is probably one shared by you:  My gods!  Someone is STILL using fountain pens!  I honestly don't think I've seen one in use in close to 45 years, and have only used one a very little bit when I was in grade school, to write personal letters. I am amazed that YOUNG people in Britain are being taken to task now for them.
