Keep Calm and Carry On Upon the outbreak of World War Two the British Government’s Ministry of Information commissioned posters to be distributed throughout the country as a means of allaying public fear. Three different posters were produced and while the first two designs were widely distributed the third poster, simply bearing the words ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’ along with the royal crown, was held in reserve intended for use only in times of extreme crisis.

Especially since the total amount spent online last Christmas by UK shoppers is estimated at £2.8bn…
