Extremely minor. Hi Clive

[ManicMan]

Just going through some old Citadel/Games workshop stuff and something that always makes me smile a bit. The Tragedy of McDeath was written in a fairly early day for Warhammer (2ed and all) and the Mail order form for the metal versions of the figures has just a great small print which just really throws me back to the old days;

Game Workshop Chewton St, Eastwood, Nottingham, UK
For Access & Visa Orders ring the mail-order Hotlines on <number which I'm pretty sure has been either disconnected or rerouted so not printing it here>
Enquires about Mail Order, Please ring Clive on <again, number which was one of the two numbers above>

Ah, the old days when it wasn't "get in touch with our mail order department" so much as it was "have a word with Clive". You get this on other old stuff like this where it's a person more then a department and it just always makes me smile. So, I just wanted to mention it. How was Clive? no clue. maybe @dieselmonkey might know if he was around then. McDeath was 1986 I believe. But it's just a little very minor thing from back in the days when everyone was trying to be friendly, informal, small team stuff.

So if you happen to be around and reading this, Hi Clive!

I think 'Clive' was long gone by the time I got there in '89. Mail order back then was basically the entry point for a lot of people who would do a few months and then move on to other things, so there was a lot of 'churn'. Most moved into trade sales or even retail, I ended up going over to the studio. It was also used as a training ground for management, if you didn't fuck up mail order you were trusted elsewhere, lol.

Happens alot in some fields. You want to get a foot in the door, to go something like the mailing room, or working as a scene shifter.

Though these days, I think if you screw up, THEN you get promoted to management ^_^;
