  • Has anyone seen the Sir Jimmy & Sir Peter Parker British Rail 6 minute Christmas Day 1979 advert on Youtube?

  • the first bit was from a original poem

    'here is the night mail crossing the boarder pulling up beatock steady climb'

    but most of it is what BR made up for there advert

  • you ever thought about joining the B.N.P?

  • I always hated this pretentious bloody advert. 'Lettars for the poohr'

  • Worse? don't make me laugh. I remember in '97 it was not uncommon for trains to be 40 minites late, or not come at all. At least now they are reliable.

  • Yes and they admit that they fucked it up.

    The problem is Labour U turned and made it worse.

  • The first Stanza was borrowed, the rest written especially for the ad.

  • Was the poem written for the advert, or did they borrow one from the boy Betjeman?

  • er, we came up with the whole ''railway'' thing,

    so what point are you actually trying to prove

  • USA, USA USA, always pretending your so big when youre not!
