BP: Woo Bloody Hoo

Perplexing 1987-ish advert for BP which explains that everything from trucks to trains to heelacopter airplanes use BP for fuel, but fails to enlighten you as to why you should give a droplet of piss in a tramp's eye.

You fuel aeroplanes? Great. Get back to me when it effects us down here in the dirt in the slightest bitty bit. Meanwhile your pheasant en croute is probably getting cold.

Of course, this isn't really aimed at getting people to fill up at BP stations. It addresses them, but it's aimed at people to buy shares in the then-relatively-newly-privatised, not-yet-demonised company.

Was the music used that to 'When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again' ?

@RobertTheDodger654 "When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again" cross-pollinated with John Williams' Star Wars theme.

I just don't find their new logo very appealing. The old one looked a lot nicer to me.

@easportsbig899 Why do you like the 1960's "Green Sheild" logo better than the 2001 "Flower" logo

Noooo.... another one where the end is cut.

The best part is missing! The part where the station employee comes out and tells the customer "Don't worry, mate. You were here first."

Apparently the train and the trucks together scene is real and filmed on location, wheras the jet is edited in.

The look on that guy's face at the end.

'Ooooh sh*t. It's going to be 7/7 and 9/11 rolled into one. Bugger.'
