Random question... In an age of mobile apps, does anyone use paper diaries? Apart from jotting down appointments on dates, are they of any other use? I mean do people actually care the measurements or public holiday dates in those extra pages? Or use it to make notes? Edited by Penge Eagle (12 Oct 2017 1.39am)

No, but I do miss 'the old ways' of doing things if that makes sense. It's a different world now.

Yup, I do. Even though some of my younger colleagues have shown me how to use apps I much prefer a book to help me. I work shifts and it’s much easier for me to plan my life if I can see it in front of me. The pain is my work week starts on a Sunday and ends on a Saturday and just about every diary in the worlds week starts on a Monday, so between now and January I’m on the lookout for next years.

My dear wife still a avails of a diary and our daughter buys her one each Christmas. I haven't used a diary for many a year. Someone mentioned about buying milk from the supermarket. I recall the days of the jolly old milkman and those bottles with red/silver tops etc etc. I hear milkmen on floats still exist but I haven't seen one for many a year.

I use an online diary for work and a paper diary as back up for the inevitable IT issues, I also use a personal paper diary that lives in a drawer at home as I plan things in advance and have a habit of losing or breaking mobiles.

Diaries are a bit like calendars in the modern day. Their days are numbered.

I do for work. I like to physically turn the pages from week to week and write things down. Similarly I like to hold and turn the pages of an actual book as opposed to an ebook reader . Hate them
