that bloody thing is still polluting my space :mad: I asked if I could throw it away, he said to give it away on urban! no-one's gonna want that... are they? :hmm:
Normally I'd take it off your hands for you but I have a proper one :D
 
Is this the East Dulwich version of a sign saying "You don't have to be mad to work here but it helps"? :)

first time I saw one of these was in the Guardian.
In the Writer's Rooms feature. Sarah Waters has (had) one over her desk.

I did think at the time I'd like one

Stick pictures of Barbara Windsor and Sid James on there and change the wording to 'Carry On Keeping Calm' and I might think about it.
