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!

the only one way to solve this countries rail network now is
get rid of first group completely (they are ripping us all off for trains that hardly ever are on time)
and bring back british rail
