Humourous look at the Hovis commercial. Tony Capstick - Capstick comes Home - Carlton Frickley Colliery Band. An amazing look back over the years of depression with some added humour
heard a bit of this record on radio 4 this week - a programme in which gervaise phinn (?) picked his favourite cultural moments - with great pleasure (i think it was called).
i've posted a link to a george formby forum - the resonator - for the magic moment at 2 minutes and 34 seconds.
@grahamw56 Every human on Earth has an ancestry as long as each other, they simply seem to have lost their humour on the Mayflower. We Brits know we are daft, This video is telling people that and that we ordinary people had nothing whatsover to do with "empire building" Its not as far away from the truth of life as it was for the poorest people as we like to think.. We never had an American deam, we couldnt afford one. Since when did Americans understand anything outside America?
@clearly That's because they have no history, so have to steal ours (and our language...though simplified for them of course. lol). Yes, I'm a proud Yorkshireman, and can trace my ancestry to before the white man stole the Native Indians' land in America. :)
Brilliant!! Thank you very much for uploading this classic!
Cheers!

Your countrymen left your country to escape poverty, tyranny and persecution and founded the greatest country on earth. May God bless America!

Americans have no sense of humour/ humor, sadly.
