Living in London

I bought a file system today from the local Ryman's store. It is designed to hold hanging files (or "suspension files, as we call them here in the UK) so I bought an additional supply of hanging files as well.

Imagine my surprise (or dismay) when I got home and the hanging files would not hang on the rails of the file box? It would seem as if the rails were about 2 mm too far apart to support the standard hanging file.

I returned to the store and checked all the other file boxes that they had on display. They were all manufactured identically . . . identically wrong. I got a refund and bought a similar system from another store.

Quality is a funny thing here in the UK. I am still trying to figure it out. Stay tuned . . .
