Many moons ago, in another country and a former century I worked in an
advertising agency in London and "lorem ipsum" was a familiar part of my life.
This was a time, barely 20 years ago, when London's Fleet Street was still home
to most of Britain's major newspapers and the typesetters worked feverishly to
lay down the type for the next day's papers using a process not that far removed
from that used by William Caxton's former apprentice, Wynkyn de Worde, when he set up
shop in a lane close to Fleet Street almost 500 years earlier; and probably
recognizable by the printers of The Daily Courant, London's first daily
newspaper, that published its first issue in Fleet Street in March 1702.
