Welcome to Reality Checkpoint!

So new product at last, a real local shirt for local people! Marking the mid-point between town and gown the Reality Checkpoint stands proud in the middle of Parker's Piece. It's been a Cambridge landmark since the early 1970s. The name comes from an unofficial inscription which first painted on the lamp post (allegedly) by students from CCAT (now Anglia Ruskin University) under the guidance of one of their teachers.

Whether it really marks the boundary between the 'reality bubble' and the 'real world' or just because it forms a useful landmark for drunk, befuddled or fog bound, it is the only light for hundreds of yards and makes me smile every time I pass on my way home!

Show it some love and check the new shirts out here.
