Mr Digital
199 Old Oak Road
London W3 7HH
Mr Digital is the most technologically advanced of all the Misters I have featured on this blog. In the world of ‘Mr’ branding, this is the equivalent of the Apple store on London’s Regent Street.
There is something reassuring about the ‘Mr’ branding device being extended into the digital age. It is normally associated with resolutely analogue trades – Mr Toolman, Mr Cobbler, Mr Meats and so on.
There are other digital Misters, including Mr Site, Mr Linky, Mr Spam and Mr Memory, as well as Mr Tweets and myself.*
But the charm of Mr Digital is that he has a presence in the offline world.
There is also a Mr Computer in St. Albans, about whom I am about to make a very good joke:
Mr Computer
145 Victoria Street
St Albans AL1 3TA
As the gentleman outside has noticed, Mr Computer uses Windows.
* Thanks to Nick Parker and David Thompson respectively for bringing Mr Linky and Mr Site to my attention.
