Hi Matt,

We used to have a shop that sold all the letraset including lines and
curve=
s
etc but that closed down when the likes of Partners and Staples opened
shops.

Exactly. Rub down lettering where if you werent careful the next letter got
rubbed down as well!

Wouldnt know about that being a sport hater!

Many moons ago when Maplin used to be a proper electronics component
supplier they used to sell specialised sheets of Letraset full of ready
mad=
e
words like INPUT, OUTPUT, TAPE, DISC, VOLUME, BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE etc
which were perfect for making audio kit. The trouble with ordinary letraset
was they I only tended to use about 5% of the letters before having to
thro=
w
it away due to running out of essential letters. Needless to say Maplin
don=
t
sell it anymore, in fact, seaching for Letraset only finds a switch where
the descriptions says "can be labelled with letraset".

I always fancied a play with Gedakop http://www.megauk.com/gedakop.php
but
never got round to it.
