Keep Calm And...

Continuing the 40's theme from my previous post, you are no doubt aware of the recent popularity of a contemporary take on this British World War II poster (which, incidentally, my geek-head tells me that the British Government never actually released at the time):

It's been featured everywhere lately, from celebs to coffee mugs!

     

However, I also really like the parodies that are cropping up:

Love these 40's posts, I've nicked one of the posters for my blog and if you click on it, it's brings you to this post, so a little promotion for you ;0)

I see your photos aren't in a straight line, was that accidental because blogger keeps doing it with mine too and it's making me cross, I want straight lines!!! Not sure how to fix it. My spell checker has vanished too!

THANK YOU for your comment and for your link!!! That's so, so sweet of you xx I'm glad you like these posts as I've been umm-ing and aah-ing over posting them or not!

The photo thing is driving me crazy too, I think I have an OCD-type thing with things being lined up properly and I can hardly bear to look at this post :)

I'm not really sure what is going on but it looked fine when I was composing the post and previewing it :/ I tried to edit a couple of times after I posted by switching off formatting and trying to line them up that way but it was having none of it and kept deleting the pics! And ditto with the spell checker... I thought it was just me!

Silly Blogger... there must be a gremlin in the works!
