Hi Hazel
Absolutely, I still prefer and treasure my Dymo gun too. Like you, I have a
Penfriend, and it is handy, and I've got used to it. But give me good old
dots any day of the week, there is nothing quicker in my book. I guess it's
what you are brought up with and get used to.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

Jackie I couldn't agree more .
We tend to still use the good old Dymo gun but over the past year or so the
Dymo tape is rubbish and won't stick to things as it used to.
They are trying their best to throw the pen friend at us and whilst we have
one we still prefer Dymo for certain things.
