11. "Coughs & Sneezes Spread Diseases" (1942-1945)

The health of the British public was paramount during World War II, and so from 1942 onwards the government produced a whole host of posters encouraging the nation to look after themselves.

"Coughs & sneezes spread diseases" and "fighting fit" became immortalised phrases during this period - and remain used to this day.
