Clement Freud told of when he was a boy walking with his grandfather in Vienna and passing a beggar in the street apparently having an epileptic fit. Passers by dropped money at his feet but Sigmund Freud ignored him and walked on. When his grandson asked him why, he said, "He wasn't doing it properly."

M1 watch designed by Margaret Calvert for Mr Jones. Calvert redesigned the entire system of British road signs in the 1960s with Jock Kinneir. Their typeface also became standard in other places, like airports.

Noel Carrington exhibition @higginsbedford.

Carrington ran Penguin Books' Picture Puffin imprint for many years, employing excellent artists, some straight from art school, who were encouraged to draw direct on to litho plates.

This made a wonderful series with beautiful illustrations that entertained and educated generations of children.
