Thank you for sharing this. It was absolutely fascinating! I especially enjoyed the Cardiff maps. For some reason I enjoy looking at maps and all things related to maps. I remember browsing atlas books at my school library as a kid. That binder looks chunky with that many inserts in it. It's a good look!
These are some fantastic inserts, love the spell checker! It's interesting thinking about previous owners and what they used their binders for (or in this case perhaps what they intended to use it for but never did). I acquired a well battered Kensington last year, and the seller hadn't removed his contacts from it. There were no private individuals in it, but a lot of organisations and companies that for sure told an interesting story. Likewise it came with some plastic business card holders; these were empty, but the actual print on the cards had transferred over onto the plastic over time, so you could see who they had belonged to. It was like getting a small peek into someone's life. Clearly not in line with GDPR, but it is what it is.
That was a very thoughtful gift of a father to his son. I like to think he specially ordered that insert on where to get what after hours in London, expecting that their son might be going out at night and then having some information to fall back on. The sort of thing a protective father would do. Almost a coming of age gift
It's interesting to see so many unused inserts. The diary skipped from mid-July 1988 to January 1989, which suggests it was used for the first six months.
I enjoyed every second of this video, thanks Neil. It is funny to see that a Filofax really can tell a lot about the owner, I really like that. And those inserts...I understand why they're not made anymore, I am sure it wouldn't be cost effective to offer them all...but I can't help but wish they were still available. I know I'll be watching this video at least for a 3rd time 😍😍
Thanks for sharing an absolutely fascinating video. A real snap shot in time. I wonder might the original owner have been a student or recent graduate - the academic calendar being a clue and therefore would be like me in their fifties now? In IReland it is difficult to come across vintage Filofaxes in charity shops but the internet is a great source for them. My first “Filofax” was a Triad leather personal binder bought in London in 1988 that I used as a student. I was able to buy refills from it directly from the company for a few years after the initial purchase.
I enjoyed this video very much! I find it fascinating what other people use in their Filofaxes. If you still have those inserts, I would be interested in purchasing them from you. Thanks for another great video! : )
I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds these lost gems wonders the life the binder had before. Beautiful binder ❤

That's great feedback. I appreciate that.

A nice glimpse into the past! The Spell Well is especially interesting!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Also, i am very much looking forward seeing the review of this beautiful Filofax
You and me both!
Those inserts are so interesting. Telex! The binder’s owner had big plans for nights out in London. Thanks for sharing! Peace and love..Suz What ☮️💛
Agreed. I find this sort of thing so interesting. Thanks for your feedback.

Thank you for your kind words.
I haven’t split the contents of this binder yet. Did you specifically have some inserts in mind?
@@Flatability Yes, I liked the grocery shopping & the financial sheets. Let me know. I can pay using PayPal or Venmo. 😀
Are you based in the UK?
@@Flatability I am not. I am in the US.
I'm sorry I can't sell outside the UK, due to our draconian VAT rules but, if you have a friend in the UK, I'll forward you a couple in the post.
