Hi Michelle

Apologies for the delay in responding, but I have been away twice and have just got back to sit down long enough and answer my emails!

I have looked in our back catalogue and actually cannot see this stamp. Although I know the saying I am not sure if I am remembering it from the old EI days or from somewhere else. The original saying came from a comedian called Tony Follari and has been used on blogs and many other things.

I will keep looking and if I do find it amongst our discontinued stamps I will contact you. Sorry that I cannot be more helpful.

Kind regards
Lesley
