Love the last comment.. the guys a 'dirty thief' what a joker...
There's an interesting story behind these t-shirts, and especially given the statement in the previous comment. The couple that own one of Britain's largest 2nd hand bookstores in the north of England are the one's who first came across the poster and started to print it... read the story at the link below. This is a stone cold FACT.

The guys who own keepcalmandcarryon.com (and I assume yesnomaybe) are well aware of this as Barterbooks is where he first acquired the poster. Admittedly the guys saw the potential in the iconic imagery and new how to capitalise on it... and of course the poster is copyright free and in the public domain, but still it's his lack of recognition of the discoverer's of the poster that annoys me.
If anyone wants to purchase one some 'Keep Calm and Carry On' stuff I suggest you do it from the the true home of the iconic found phrase.. Barter Books, Alnwick, Northumberland. http://www.barterbooks.co.uk
