My dad printed out some posters for a charity event a few years ago. "Free T-Sh!ts" were available  After the re-print, we found out that free T-Shirts were available. |

After it had been printed and I hate to think how much it all cost but it was noticed that the slogan actually read. The Cumberland hotel photographed by millions as the back drop to March arch.
