The history of “Keep Calm and Carry On”
There’s a great article today on the BBC website all about the history of the “Keep Calm and Carry On” World War II poster.
As we’ve discussed before, the posters were produced on the eve of the war, but never displayed in public.
We’ve found that people don’t just love it as a poster, they enjoy seeing the reassuring words on the side of Keep Calm and Carry On tea mugs, Keep Calm and Carry On tea towels and we are even being encouraged to save our economy through Keep Calm and Carry On Shopping bags!
So, whether you’re having a comforting cup of tea, drying the dishes, or buying the week’s groceries there’s no excuse not to show your British resolve in a time of credit crunch with the message “Keep Calm and Carry On”.
