Good advert... Anyone recognise the bus roof scene from a Bond film? It was Live and Let Die, with Roger Moore... He drove a double decker (probably a routemaster) through a low bridge on a Carribean island, with much the same effect! The only difference was the absence of a trio on the top deck, and the bus was blue...
Whatever else you say about advertising, you have to admit they're still better about recycling than anyone else

The 'roof job' shot is excellent - but for it to break off so perfectly I think it must have been pre-weakened before it hit the bridge!

The way they did it in the Bond film was to have the roof cut off, then put back on with a couple of bolts, sitting on top of a whole load of ball bearings...

Don't know if anyone else has noticed but on the back of Walker's crisps , there is a statement to the effect that Walkers crisps are actively seeking to reduce their carbon footprint . The purchaser is then told the carbon footprint of the packet he/she has just enjoyed . So far , the footprint is more than twice the stated weight of the packet .
Environmentally then is it better to grow the potatoes & plough them back into the soil or simply not to let them be made into crisps ?

Just to get slightly back on topic (yes, yes, I know this is the off topic section but this off topic post is going off topic
) there's a smoke grey 4 door for sale in the current issue of Classic Car Weekly advertised as "recently used in crisps TV advert ready for Morris Minor 60th Anniversary"

According to Ken Bruce on radio two, (who also owns a routemaster) theres something strange going on with the handbrake during the shots of the cab, it hasnt been on since I heard but apparently its an On Off On Off continuity error.
