This apparently was a poster that the government of the day had printed during World War 2 - it was to be put up if the Germans invaded.
Someone has just put it up at work - I’m worried.
they know the significance of today x
I don’t get it? Is this one of those “stiff upper lip” kind of things?
I bet this wouldn`t have stopped them.
that would have made them run away for sure!
I think it is one of those stiff upper lip things… but I also suspect it was to keep the general population calm whilst terrorist activities where being activated.
My Grandfather was a firefighter during the war - he was also one of the operatives that was assigned terrorist duties should the germans ever invade - only discovered all this after he died from his papers. He never said a word.
He had explosives training and counter insurgent training - all sorts of very interesting things.

Interesting stuff, who’d have thought we invented counter-insurgency? Ironically we’re the targets of such tactics now.
actually we nicked it from the Spanish - they were very good at it - not to mention all we’d learned from supporting the French resistance.

just put the sign on it anyway…
