Mr Munnings the Printer, Trumpton.
.
Mr Munnings always was one of my favorite characters in Trumpton. It is only now as I am older that I realize it is because he owns a rather quaint looking printing press.
.
“He prints everything and anything, but particularly the posters for the Trumpton band concert”
.
“The Printer”
.
“I line up all the with spaces in between,
and clamp them in the printing press a wonderful machine.
Posters are in capitals, bold and fat and tall,
but the printing in the daily news is often rather small.
.
Now the inky roller comes down the type and back,
and makes the letters ready to be printed clear and black.
I check the pile of paper for every single sheet,
will be printed by the inky type with letters clear and neat.
.
When they have a flag day I print the little flags,
notices and labels and even paper bags.
I make the letters stand up straight and keep the paper clean,
then the job will be as good as anyone has seen.”
