What a lovely and informative little film. Thanks so much for sharing. Oh, the delights you can find on Youtube!
Keep calm and, well you know the rest.
Love it Paddy

I think in a day when Britain is struggling so hard to figure out its identity in a way post imperial world, it's a good thing to have this extreme essence of traditional Britishness to contemplate.
"Hello. I'm Mr. Hardy, and this is my friend, Mr. Laurel."
Saw this one in Liberty House, London the other day:
KEEP CALM
and
CALL MOM
By the way - here's a link to a site where you can generate your own poster:

"There I stood at the bar, wearing a Mae West, no jacket, and beginning to leak blood from my torn boot. None of the golfers took any notice of me - after all, I wasn't a member!'
Thanks for the link Spitfire!

Thanks for the links.
That poster should have been reprinted and massively distributed after 9/11.
This is what I saw this morning:
Had to think of this thread right away, but I haven't got a clue, what "pien" means.
Please excuse crappy mobile pic.
I find the whole explosion of this saying/poster highly amusing, as years before it splattered across the media, a friend of ours had an original one in his kitchen.
We said, oh, that's nice, where'd it come from? He said after his company announced a whole raft of redundancies were going to be made, it just appeared on the office wall one day. Everyone had a laugh but no-one admitted they had put it up. Our friend had a closer look, realised it was a rare Wartime poster and one night some time later he took it down, rolled it up and took it home. No-one mentioned it, so he kept it and put it in his kitchen.
I do wonder where it came from, who found it and also, how much an original one of those is worth!
There is no time, Madam, at which hats do not matter.
