I remember the advert.

"He were a great baker were our dad."

Classic Advert. The music comes from Dvorak's 9th Symphony, The New World.

    I do remember these ads with very fond memories. I got misty eyed watching these. However, I think the whole "he were great baker were our dad" was actually part of a Grumbleweeds routine, parodying the Hovis ads. They were a very funny band/group/team, and me mum and dad took me to our of their shows when I graduated from the Polytechnic of Wales in 1976.

    Oh Lordy yes, do I recall these- the first one of the type to be aired was of an old guy making his way up a steep cobbled street in rural Yorkshire remeniscing about 'Grandad always used to say...'(something about the virtues of Hovis). Ronnie Barker did a hilarious skit on the ad. when he re-enacted the scene, saying 'Eeh, Grandad always used to say it were a bloody long way to go for a loaf of bread'! Priceless- 'Its as good for you today as it's always been'.

Do you remember these?
