"keep calm and carry on" poster/print

[madzone]

i could go right off you, you know.

No, you couldn't. You'd be constantly drawn back by my natural charm, witty banter and the fact that you can't stop liking me until your wife tells you so

 

[Tank Girl]

he'd never cope with the both of us

I may stick that (or a tweaked one) on the back of my cycling jacket .

It feels a bit like the war at the moment.

You don't see travel adverts like this one these days!

I was looking for the 'Give Your Seat To A Shell' one, but couldn't find it...

 

[harpo]

There was no option for 'there was one in an office I once worked in', but that's my experience of that poster.

 

[RubyToogood]

Anyone know anything about the history of these posters? I know they're a Ministry of Information poster from WWII, but someone told me recently that they were a designed for the event of a German occupation, and were therefore never used in public?

I don't believe this was ever a real poster at all - that's the problem with them.

 

[dodgepot]

here ya go - it was a real design but never actually issued and then mass produced.

Ah, so I was informed correctly then

 

[Pip]

that bloody thing is still polluting my space I asked if I could throw it away, he said to give it away on urban! no-one's gonna want that... are they?

I know someone who's obsessed with fruit who might

 

[dodgepot]

yeah? it's not a very good model, tbf.

 

[Pip]

You should see some of the crap I've offloaded onto her.

 

[Sadken]

I got one. Didn't realise everyone else was too. It's ok though, all my friends are idiots.

 

[moose]

​

I've got that one, too

 

[MysteryGuest]

i want one of the mugs with this on. i've seen them, in a shop near where i work, but they're not that big tbh - not big enough for a proper cup of tea. so i'm going to have to get over myself, i suppose, like people are told to on the internet.

Re: East Dulwich. Also the deathplace of Bon Scott. Choked on his own vomit in a Mini outside a house on Overhill Road after a night's boozing in what's now Koko in Camden.

Where's the blue plaque for that eh?

 

[spanglechick]

Yay - they've got them all here

except the cat one - 'look out in the blackout' - i'm still searching for that - i want it for my drama studio.

Where's everyone getting frames for this poster from? Buggered if I can find one 24x17 inch frame anywhere.

My one's from Ikea, there's a bit of a gap round the edge though.


ETA:

see?

 

[panpete]

have you got one of these in your home?
do you want one of these in your home?
do any of your friends have one of these in their home?

I want one of those in my home, as much as I want a "Do not be your real self" poster up.
As for my mates, if had such a trite wall hanging, I am sure one of them would say, "For duckery's sake, Impludo, take that thing down.

One hanging up in a place of work, would just make me more livid.

MIne arrived while Mr Madz was away. I put it in a frame last night and showed him.

'What do you think?' says I

'I don't get it' says he

'What don't you get?' says I

'Well, it just looks like an information poster' says he
