Giving new meaning to the phrase “doing time,” a calendar depicting some of England’s most notorious prisons is a surprise holiday bestseller, according to the Guardian. Developed by a courier named Kevin Beresford, the calendar includes color pictures of Wormword Scrubs, Long Lartin, and my personal favorite as a Smiths’ fan, Strangeways, although now its proper name is HMP Manchester.
Beresford created another calendar a few years ago: a pictorial of England’s famous roundabouts. I think this guy’s crazily brilliant. I’d love to find either one of these calendars under my tree next week.

Ditto on thinking the guy is crazy brilliant. I want one of those. I’d love to leap on his idea and do something like that locally (especially about NJ, where I grew up) but somehow I don’t think a calendar of strip malls would become a surprise bestseller.
I think it would be hilarious, Jenna. Do it. DO IT!!! You could also do the “Exits of the Jersey Pike” calendar and pose a beefcake with each sign. Mmm, Mr. Exit 14, City of Newark.
Hmmm. You know, I may just have to do it. If all goes ahead, look for the 2010 calendar on sale on CafePress next holiday season!
Good morning USA!
It’s Kevin Beresford here. The Brit that came up with the idea of a prisons and roundabout calendar. I’m doing some market research – What do you guys think of a Road Kill calendar for 2010. Dont hold back – honest comments please.
Warm regards Crazy Kevin
