Greyhound
Beautiful tin. Shame about the spacing between the words MADE IN ENGLAND - you could drive a bus through there.
Still, let's look at the dog... lovely!

Ladies and Gentlemen
This is a vinyl sign I designed for our bathroom door.
For ages I had been looking for original mid-century ladies and gents toilet door plaques like the ones you sometimes see in pubs and cafes, until eventually realised I could make my own.
Getting it run out at the signmakers was a pretty expensive, I could have brought the unit cost down if I'd had loads of them done. But hey, I didn't do that.
No, you can't use the toilet here if you don't look like either of these groovy cats. As Kenneth Williams told his visitors, you'll have to make alternative arrangements!
