Man, I want some of that time-travel bread.

I'm not very patriotic, i can't claim to like the queen, I don't agree with a lot of the decisions the government has made, but this advert just made me swell with pride. For what we are, how strong we are, how one tiny nation could have so much power and influence on the world. It makes me wish we could still hold this claim, in a lot of ways we have lost this. Sometimes people in the UK make me recoil at how hateful, blaming and cruel they are to others. That is not what we need, we need this.

Almost.

@superamerica1981 Ah, thanks. It seems I missed TWO touchstones, then. I'm not into sports. (I do recognize the miners' strike, though, thanks to "Billy Elliot" ;-) )

Being an American, I'm mising one of the cultrual touchstones here. The street party at 1:07-1:15 is for what? Judging by the time period, I'm guessing it's on the ocassion of the Queen's coronation, but I'm not sure.

It's a VERY good add. Unfortunately, it reminds me how nowadays marketing, not quality, makes the product.
