To celebrate the 350th birthday of the Company, we formed a ways and means committee to decide what we were going to do and how we were going to do it and one section of it was a subcommittee on publications and I was put on that committee. And Frank Francis, Sir Frank Francis, the British Museum keeper was our leader in our section and it became apparent to me as the months went by that we weren't going to publish anything at all. He didn't seem to take it seriously. Mind you, it wasn't a very serious thing, but we did want something... we'd said we would publish. And so, not wishing to be associated with a failure, I went right through the company archives and picked out the names of all the freemen, liverymen and brothers and masters and assistants and all that since 1631 and had them all put into a book, hardbound and offered it to the Company as our publication. They were delighted to get a publication. Some of them, like Dick Pennyfellow, who was a River Plate war hero, said it looked a bit like a bloody telephone book, but then of course war heroes are not very academically minded and they don't understand the purpose of such a thing, so that didn't matter very much. His brother, who was clerk to the company, thought it was a marvellous thing to have and he doubted that any other company could produce such a list, which may have been another way of saying no one would have been daft enough to do such a thing. But still it exists and we know who were those liverymen up till that time.
