#2 Point of British trivia, from a recent airing of the Antiques Roadshow:

During the War year of 1940 a great fear of the coming German invasion was sweeping over the UK. To quell those fears and rumor mills, a poster was developed and sent to postal offices throughout Great Britain. The poster read "Keep Calm and Carry on." Instructions from the Government stipulated the poster only be displayed upon official notification from the Ministry of Defense, that the German invasion had actually begun. The original posters measured approximately 18" x 24" and were red in colour. Most were binned following the war. An original today might fetch a pretty penny.

#3 Thanks for that info Beso. As a Xmas present last year our Brit friends sent me a kitchen towel with that design.

They're visiting for T'giving so it will be displayed.
