Pressed the wrong button and wiped my reply! Duh.

I know that several manufacturers are packing products in retro packs at the moment. Kelloggs definitely are because we have some - so try Frosties, Rice Krispies etc. I saw a retro washing powder pack in Morrisons the other day, sadly I can't remember who is was, if I had to guess I'd say Persil. So look around the shelves because it seems to be a trend at the mo. Good luck.

Have you had a look at the Museum of Packaging in Notting Hill? A chap called Robert Opie started it and he has got all sorts of packaging in there. That will probably interest you.
