When I was travelling with David in the U.K. I remarked on the clarity of their road signs. After my return David sent me an extract from the book "Just My Type" which explained the process by which Margaret Calvert and Jock Kinneir developed their "Transport" type-face and colouring for the U.K. road signs. As potters generally are thought to be a little odd, I can see why David did not take me to any of these places. This photo was sent to me by my friend Philip Smith, a landscape gardener from Auckland, who had spent some time in the Penzance area of U.K.
