This is not exactly stamp related, but I was fascinated by the story and video behind it, so I thought I'd post it. Probably very interesting reading for World War II history buffs and epherema collectors:

Thanks wt1. "Keep calm and carry on" It's always the right path in time of war or peace.

What an interesting story and neat looking book store. It will be on my list of places to visit if I ever get the chance to go to England.

Thanks for sharing!

Very interesting. I'm a bit of a WW2 enthusiast, and some of those posters, though with simple little phrases did inspire the people and drive the message home according to my late grandmother. I like the little phrases they came up with:

Keep Calm, Carry On
Tittle Tattle Lost the Battle
Be Like Dad, Keep Mum (a variation on the Careless Talk)
Make Do and Mend

and many others.

Thanks for posting :)
