June / July Competition 2009
This month you have the opportunity to win your very own copy of 'Keep Calm and Carry On - a collection of cheering quotes and wry truths from wits such as Churchill, Disraeli and George Bernard Shaw.
The original WWII government poster was designed to motivate the British public in a time of extreme crisis (i.e. if we were occupied). In the event, the crisis never happened and so the poster laid in a dusty box of books until it’s rediscovery in 2001.
The current upsurge in the popularity of the slogan suggests that its dignified stiff-upper lip resonates with us in the challenging times we are experiencing just as much as it would have done with the original wartime audience.
We have ten prizes to give away so don't miss your chance of winning.
Entrants should read this bit very carefully:
