Good old radiation safety

Given I did an apprenticeship and worked a trade long before I became a copywriter it's no surprise I have a fascination for health & safety posters.

The one that always intrigued me when I was young was the radiation sign that was commonly seen above the workplace microwave.

No wonder I've avoided microwaves most of my life!


Last night I came across these gorgeous old radiation safety posters.

They from the late 1940's I think.

Weird thing is they're so cute I wonder if anyone actually took any notice of them back then.

Guess we'll never know.

New ideas

Still made from beer

Saw this on a drive into the city recently.

Made me smile.

Yet another piece of quality tongue-in-cheek work for Carlton Draught from the team at Clemenger Melbs.

Promises promises

Stamp of approval for Roald Dahl

One of the best things about being a parent is getting your kids into the books of Roald Dahl.

Seems like every generation has a soft spot for him.

Now he's being celebrated with a set of stamps in the UK.


I wonder if there are a handful of special 'golden stamps' in circulation?

Somehow I doubt it.

But how cool would it be if there was!?
