Kodak Limited Advertising & Promotions Dept

A Memory of Ruislip.

In 1969/1970 I was a copywriter and art director in the Kodak A&P Dept, working on the international Kodak Calendar and the quarterly magazine, 'Kodak View' (later, just 'View') . The building is seen in the photograph. The department moved there from the Harrow/Wealdstone buildings in the '60s. Coincidentally, living close to us in our Pinner house were two other (unrelated) people who worked, not only in the same building but in the same department. We quickly decided, at my invitation, to make up a threesome in my car each morning and evening, and it was during one of the morning journeys from Pinner to Ruislip that one of them pointed at a big notice at a petrol station announcing a price increase. We roared with laughter when he said, quite solemnly, that he reckoned before long we'd be paying £1 per gallon!
