What's the origin of "KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON"?

You probably already know the famous poster "Keep Calm and Carry On" but, do you know where does it come from?

These publication was designed by the British Government in 1939, when the Second World War was started. Its aim was motivational and it was focused on strengthen British people's morale in the event of a wartime disaster, such as mass bombing of major cities using high explosives and poison gas.  Its distribution was limited, although more than 2,500,000 posters were produced, that is the reason why there were not well known at that time. 

This publication came after other two which said: "Freedom Is In Peril. Defend It With All Your Might"  y "Your Courage, Your Cheerfulness, Your Resolution Will Bring Us Victory".


How does the last years "Boom" start?


Its re-discovery took place in the year 2000 ,when Stuart Manley and his wife Mary found an original copy and hung it at their workplace, Barter Books.

The poster was so successful that they started to commercialize it, big private companies realize how famous it was and began to use it as well ,and after that as you all know, it was being used as a decorative object. 

From that moment, there had been many imitations and parodies of the famous poster, some talk about the most stupid topics, some are politically incorrect or protest.


This is how an original "Keep Calm and Carry On" looks like.

London will be the next Silicon Valley!!

Hi guys, How are you?

We are writing here to tell you about an interesting interview which we have
read this morning on the Evening Standard. It talks about the future

of London and at last but not the least, your future.

"London is playing an important role on the technology creations",

said Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt in a speech at London’s
Science Museum.


As well, “It is all the great cities of the US in one. Like Washington
DC, she explains, London is the seat of national government. Like New
York, it has financial services and thriving art, fashion and media
scenes. Like LA, it has creative industries. Like Chicago and New
York, it has an advertising world. And technology is playing an
increasingly meaningful role in all of these sectors.”, says Joanna
Shields, who left the top European job at Facebook to oversee our
Government’s Tech City Investment Organisation four months ago.

Everything that companies will possibly need is here. As a way of fact, the most important
companies (i.e. Facebook, Microsoft, Cisco, Intel) are starting to have their own headquarter here.

One of the most important reason which brought to this big change is that London is
the greatest, youngest and most multicultural city of the world. Rohan Silva, senior

policy adviser to the Prime Minister, agrees. “A lot of the US
companies are now considering to be part of this "migration" to London not only
because the workforce here is international, but also future-oriented. So you can hire people in London and then a year

later say, ‘Hey, we want to open an office in Beijing’. London people
are very likely to be up for moving to Beijing and setting up an
office there.”


Hurry up, your future is in London!!

Come2England is here for your first necessities!!
