{"product_id":"civil-defence-washing-up-metal-wall-plaque-beige-and-green","title":"Civil Defence Washing-Up Metal Wall Plaque - Beige \u0026 Green","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis metal wall plaque turns the nightly washing-up into a call to duty, set out in the style of an old Civil Defence notice. It is rectangular, with a beige centre panel between deep green bands across the top and bottom, and its lettering is printed in black and a deep red. Across the top it reads \"Step forward and do your bit\", then in bold capitals \"Washing-Up Volunteers are required right now\", followed by \"Please form an orderly queue\", with a small arrow and the words Civil Defence at the foot. The beige panel carries a softly worn, aged look. It measures 21cm across and half a centimetre deep, so it sits close and neat against the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe kitchen is its natural home, hung by the kettle, on the back of the larder door or next to the tea towels, where it can do its gentle nagging every time the plates pile up. It suits a utility room or a busy family dining room just as well. For the dad who always seems to vanish when the pudding bowls come out, it makes a cheeky Father's Day gift, and for the one who quietly does the lot, it is a fond nod to his efforts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plaque is made of metal with a glazed finish, and a length of natural-coloured cord runs through two eyelets at the top corners, so it hangs from a single hook or nail with nothing to drill through the plaque itself. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth and, when needed, wipe it gently with a damp cloth and dry it straight away. Hang it at eye level where the dishes gather and let the household settle the rota between themselves, or wrap it up for Father's Day and watch the penny drop.\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 \u0026amp; Green\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\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21cm\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\u003e0.162kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOccasion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFather's Day\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 washing-up plaque?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt measures 21cm across and half a centimetre deep, a slim flat panel that hangs close to the wall without sticking out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the plaque made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is made of metal with a glazed finish, printed with a beige centre panel and deep green bands at the top and bottom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the plaque hang?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA natural-coloured cord runs through two eyelets in the top corners, so it hangs from one hook or nail with no fixings through the plaque.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the plaque say?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt reads \"Step forward and do your bit\", then \"Washing-Up Volunteers are required right now\" and \"Please form an orderly queue\", with Civil Defence at the foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it a good Father's Day gift?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe think so.
