OTld Friends and mates front up to look back
here’s life after printing, reason for being of the Old or so the story goes, but Friends. Under the smooth only if you stay in touch interviewing style of Scott with your industry Telfer, three notables of the
friends. That's the rationale printing industry from former
behind the UK-based association for retired printers, Old Friends. The NSW branch was given the nod a few years ago.
Last month it hooked up with the LIA, the Press Gang and the Penrith Museum of Printing for dinner and a night of nostalgia, reminisces and delight in recalling a few old grudges.
What do you do if a major, well-known printer refuses
to pay your bills for printing rendered? If you’re Jim Richardson, formerly of MacArthur Press, you ask politely for a few months but he tells you the customer hasn’t paid him yet. Then the customer pops his head around the door, asking if you have the film for the job. He wants

of mates: one of imposing stature to accompany you to the interview; the other to park his cement mixer next to the swanky limo parked outside.
“So what, what are you going to do about it?” barks the major, well-known printer.
“C’mon over here,” sez Jim. “You see that bloke with the cement mixer? You see that car?
That’d be yours. What do you think I’m going to do about it?”
A quick signing of a cheque minutes later and it’s done and dusted. Laugh! And that was the second time Jim got the better of the same major, well- known printer.
