In my case, none of these are written down anywhere,

At work my list of username/passwords fits on two A4 sheets
of paper.

At home the lists fits on to 5 A4 sheets of paper. While I will admit to
some similarity in user/passwords I cannot remember if I've put $$123 or
$$456 or $$abc at the end or beginning of each of the passwords.

And then there are the systems that will only accept passwords that
include a random set of "characters" that need to be changed on a
regular basis. Does any organisation think these types of passwords are
more secure when they will be written down by EVERYONE that has to use
them.

I would assume that any password that's simple enough to remember
would also be easy to guess.

You assume wrong. I defy you to guess my pasword. "Simple to remember"
means many different things to different people.
