{"product_id":"civil-defence-public-convenience-metal-wall-plaque-beige","title":"Civil Defence Public Convenience Metal Wall Plaque - Beige","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis metal wall plaque is a tongue-in-cheek take on an old civic notice, declaring a public convenience for local dignitaries and celebrities only. It is a rectangular piece in an aged beige, printed in bold black and deep red lettering beneath a heraldic crest, with a thin red border framing the whole notice. The wording runs from CIVIC PLUMBING AND WATERWORKS DEPARTMENT at the top to CIVIL DEFENCE at the foot. In between, it sends everyone else down the stairs, with a polite request that they shout a warning first. At 20cm high and just 0.5cm deep, it sits neatly against the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe think it belongs on the door of a cloakroom or downstairs loo, where guests will stop to read every line. It is just as much at home in a den, a study or a games room. It makes a cheerful gift for dads with a dry, very British sense of humour, and for anyone who likes their walls to raise a smile. The joke works best where it can be read up close, so we would hang it at eye level. There the smaller lines are easy to make out, and the crest and faded colouring can do the rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plaque is made from metal with a glazed finish. The worn, weathered look is part of the printed design, giving it the air of a notice that has hung in a council corridor for years. Its rectangular shape and slim profile keep it tidy on a door or a spare stretch of wall. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it gently with a damp cloth and dry it straight away. Give it to the dad who always takes his time in there, and we suspect it will be on the wall before the wrapping paper reaches the bin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMetal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBeige\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGlazed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.3kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big is the plaque?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt stands 20cm high and is just 0.5cm deep, so it sits close against a door or wall without sticking out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the plaque made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plaque is made from metal with a glazed finish.
