BARGEPOLE, besides being an object, is also a British expression; a shortened form of 'I wouldn't touch that with a bargepole.'
It means 'no way.'
An example: 'Do you have a Facebook page' and I could answer 'Bargepole.'For the letterheads, this is inspired by a 1817 Vincent Figgins typeface.

Save the date: For all of August, there will be an exhibition in Bridport, Dorset, about the life and work of George Biles, a prolific signwriter, decorator, and scenic painter whose career spanned nearly 70 years.
A collection of his Palmers Brewery pub signs have survived, and will be displayed alongside drawings, and more.
I'll post more in the future, but for now, there is an extract from a 1932 article about Biles in the alt text.
