The New Year Honours List announced today contains a couple of notable print-related entries. BGP chairman John Madejski is now Sir John, having at last gained his knighthood "for charitable services" - though I don't imagine this refers to his endeavours in the field of loss-making printing companies, so no sniggering at the back.

Meanwhile, Scarborough's finest Andrew Pindar has kept up the family tradition of good works in the locale and, like his dad, has been awarded an OBE for services to business and the community. I don't imagine there will have been many father and son OBE recipients, so this could be something of a record.
