Yeah, he'd worked for the Reed Group.

He was like the design director.

And he started this work of creating big cardboard toys and table chairs for kids and like pop art prints, wrapping papers.

And that was where this Polypops product was all going to be sold.

And he went into partnership with Judith Cash.

She was a great buyer and she had a fantastic eye for product from Denmark, from Italy, from all over and just put this whole thing together, the two of them.

Yeah.

I think the main thing that I remember were these fantastic windows.

They had all these garlands, the sort of Danish paper garlands and huge round great paper sort of mobiles.

And then you'd have a whole wall of wrapping papers.

Just every type of print you can imagine.

A lot of famous people used to come through the door.

I mean, you went from Montblanc pens, you had to sort of pop art posters, art books, just a beautiful array of merchandise.

Well, I do remember serving Elaine Page and her friend and somebody coming up and asking her for an autograph.
