Ha Ha Mike,
I use a pencil! Good old graphite. And I'm a lying sod 'cos I use a Bic!
I suspect that most inks are vegetable based today to fall into line with safety regulations. However if they were not it would make no differnce to me.

Nor me, Johnboy. But I consider the use of newspaper to be recommended increasingly each year, as what they print is usually sh*t anyway!
