You possibly will not know this one Floydy as I believe you are younger than me:You might know about the older, traditional printing methods Longdogs, all text was back-to-front and upside down. Reading like that a never was a problem for me as it's my trade.
No, my head's on back to front, that's all!
No, that's not the explanation but "it's all in the software" may give you a clue.
AND I remember the song ^^

However, it's now all inside the desktop computer with very clever software. Problem now is that one person is expected to know all the software rather than just one specific part of the trade.A quick edit there Longdogs, you almost caught me out!
Out of curiosity now I will have to PM you at some time. If you ever worked in print in London it's a small world there, we may even have worked for the same companies at some time.
Apologies to the OP for my disrupting the thread.

My best mate says he wants The Goons' "Ying Tong Song" played at his funeral. I really don't think I can sit through that bloody thing for five minutes!

Probably that is the only time anyone could listen to that one, your best mate must have a warped sense of humour! Perhaps he just wants to cheer up what is often a morbid event? I know it well and as for listening to it more than once, as funny as it is, no definitely not!
