This is just a comical take on that poster (and there are lots of different ones out there out there for various situations), this one produced for the "grinches" of the current season. "bollocks" is a word of the vernacular more common in England and some other Commonwealth countries....a more polite word "nuts". No offense intended, just a light hearted taking the micky if you get me.

Merry Christmas

A little know fact is that that poster campaign was cancelled and the vast majority were destroyed. A few were discovered well after the war and it became "a thing" as the youngins say...

Merry Christmas to all and to all a flat head Ford!
