embroidered KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON magnet. $4.00.
I don’t have the description because the listing has been removed. In fact, the whole shop has been emptied and the seller isn’t making any promises about coming back. Her items weren’t all bad but thank god this thing has gone.
And as if you weren’t fed up of hearing it already, I found this as well:
Laptop Decal KEEP CALM and CARRY ON. $8.50
I don’t know what I find worse – that stupid, ubiquitous slogan….or the laptop.

Personally, I like “Keep cool but care” from Thomas Pynchon’s novel V. Sounds less like victim-speak.

Lol, I just had to try it.
I like these Keep cool and carry on alternatives!

I am so f**king tired of keep calm and carry on. And that magnet is indeed the worst yet.

haha, you certainly DO need to keep calm when dealing with this shit.
Carrying on may not always be an option;)

Don’t get upset. Please keep calm and carry on.

That magnet looks like something I would have made when I was 5 years old.
I’d like to see what else was in that shop. I wonder what the story behind the disappearing act was?

I’m American, and etsy is the only place I see this repetitious “keep calm and carry on” crap. I wish I would stop seeing it there.
