I never get the comments 'Us British' and 'We British are good at this and that', because what exactly is 'British' anymore? Any old person can come here and get a British passport, does that make them British?
It's like saying 'The Japanese are good at this', then me emigrating to Japan, and claiming I'm a part of them, it's ridiculous.
I would love to have taken part in the making of this advert as Hovis Bread is something us British are good at, its not just making bread but the best film & TV adverts in the world.
When they were filming the 1960s scenes on the last day, on the last take, the director said that as Brian was a Scotland fan, he could make a rude sign at the fans in the car as they passed by. They gave him a DVD of the advert after filming and it included a version with that take in it!

Sad in some ways. Lots of 'pals' regiments marched off just like that and whole towns and villages lost a generation.

I love the 60-ies... Too bad I am too far from Liverpool.. Did they just pick her from a street or they ran some kind of actor casting?
