  1. Another year, another notification of large-scale bank branch closures... as always this os predicated on people using branches less.

    Of course, this is nothing to do with under-staffing branches so they are slower to see you, removing local discretion, or making the branches uncomfortable, of course.

    Its yet on more way a service industry seems contemptuous of its users!

  2. Does anyone know if this article is available online: 'Classifying Signs' by Harry Leeson, Monotype Recorder, Issue 01, Summer 2014?

    I have a hard copy, and regularly find myself referencing it, but don't have an easy way to share it with others.

    For those interested, it compares and contrasts sign regulations in different parts of London (Peckham and Hampstead) and how these affect the experience of being on the high street.
