The A4 pockets would be too small Valerie. Do they do the old foolscap size for old certs please?

Maureen, If you manage to get Acid Free pockets from Darlington, can you please let me know. I've tried W.H.Smith in Middlesbrough and Stockton, and they just look at me as if I'm asking for moon dust. They never seem to stock them. Kath. x

I use an A3 FlipFile with clear plastic pockets. The pocket size is useful for larger documents, and I can also keep the enlarged photocopies of wedding group photos where my father has written the name on the person on them.
