scratchy and awkward to useThese ball-point pens are too scratchy and awkward to use so are almost useless in my opinion.

They do write - so that is why they get 2 stars instead of just 1 star - but the design is such that the pen must be held in the vertical or nearly vertical position in order to write with them, and any such drifting of the angle of the pen to the paper away from that angle will cause the ball-point with the ink to lift off of the paper and what is remaining is just the retaining edge of the ball-point and so the ink stops flowing and the "scratchy" consequence of metal-on-paper follows.

Writing with almost any other ball-point pen - even cheaper ones than these - has a much more smooth and easy flow. It is not normal for ball-point pens to limit the writer to such a strict vertical angle of pen-on-paper-contact. It is apparently a consequence of the Sainsbury's design here that makes these so annoying to use.

Also the strength of the ink colour is comparitively weak - so that the black is more like grey.

In any case - I won't be buying these again for these reasons, especially since there are cheaper better ball-point pens available.
