Hi to the good people of Letterville, I think it's about time I introduced myself. I run a small sign firm in the heart of Suffolk, England. I've been in the trade for over 17 years now, started off in exhibition graphics but soon found there's more fun to be had in the sign trade. 5 years ago I broke free & started up on my own, best thing I ever did, everyday is an adventure. .... well... more like a rollercoaster, lots of highs (just a few lows).
most of my work is vinyls, vehicles, general signs & banners. I also supply a couple of signwriters with their vinyl needs (they prefer to enjoy the brushwork & let me get on with the boring computer stuff! ) I still use my trusty Mac to create exhibition graphic panels in Quark when the work comes my way, but my heart is really in Signs!!! Cheers, Steve Thurlow Haven Graphics.

Ahhh Mr Broughton, Nice to meet up again, it's a small world, you'll be telling next that little Scottish fellow hangs out in Letterville aswell, very doubtful, nobody would understand a word he says (sorry Rob if u happen to be 'aboot och i the noooo') I take it you're refering to the late great tub thumper 'Cozy Powell'& not insinuating that I'm 'warm & cozy'
Dan, pop into the Cherry Tree & I'll buy you a pint. Bill, darkroom antics were alway over exposed
Nice to meet you Wayne, quite a few Brits lurking around the place, good 1.
Cheers, Steve

Sorry Letterville people, this is the way us Brits bond & show our friendship, the more abuse & disregard you give a fellow countryman the more you REALLY appreciate & admire them deep down.
... just to clarify the word 'Lanky' in England means, fit, with perfect muscle tone & naturally handsome...
Isn't that right Steve? you lanky bald git
Cheers, Steve

Hi Jeremy, what can I say, I've tried to quietly join the Letterheads thinking that NObody would know me, but it seems my infamy is worldwide ... NO way am I going to ever pull a stunt like 'that' again, I thought it would be spotted as a hoax immediately, it got a bit out of hand & I did feel a bit of a prat after all the posts it generated... oops (sorry again)
