Lovely story here in the Midlands which came to light as a result of the discovery of a postcard  sent by a young man to his girlfriend back in the early 1900s.  At first it seemed that what he had written was gibberish, until someone realised that all the words were written backwards - obviously to keep his message secret from casual prying eyes.  Some research came up with names for the couple - both now long dead - but the mystery remained as to why he chose that method of writing.  Until his modern-day descendants came up with the answer - he was a typesetter, and back then typesetters had to enter the letters into the frame in reverse order, so that when they were inked and impressed onto paper, they would come out the right way round. So he was well used to seeing words that way.  Like I say - lovely story.
