FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
A quote from Gordon Brown? No. It is a quote from the Yo Blair Teddy in the Yo Blair T Shirt shop. This digital shop can be found at www.yoblairtshirt.com.
The shop is the brainchild of Eastbourne based Niamh Kiernan.” I was exploring the idea of a T shirt shop in connection with another project when I saw the television report of the Yo Blair conversation and decided to pursue this instead.” Said Niamh.
The shop stocks T-shirts with two distinct extracts from the Yo Blair conversation:
Yo Blair how are you doing?
Blair: I'm just...
Bush: You're leaving?
Blair: No, no, no not yet.
and
Thanks for the sweaters it's awfully thoughtful of you
Blair: It's a pleasure
Bush: I know you picked it out yourself
Blair: Oh, absolutely, in fact I knitted it myself.
The choice of text colours is limited to red, blue, green and orange.
The Yo Blair Teddy Bear, The Yo Blair Clock and Yo Blair Mugs have the “Och now, Tony will soon have time on his hands to knit wee bootees for the bairn” inscription.
Asked if she thought Tony Blair would be upset Niamh said, “ Well I think he has a sense of humour and he is a very experienced politician. He is unlikely to give up his office over a T-shirt. That would be a first.”
