Hovis advert building restored by Dorset Council

The building was used in a popular Hovis advert 50 years ago.

www.bbc.co.uk

When do we celebrate? I'm going to dunk some fried eggy bread slices into a Yorkshire Gold :cool:

Edit*

Forgot to ad the advert itself:

That's the best thing I've seen since sliced bread

My Mum used to live there so I've experienced that road myself. Yes it really is that steep

mrk · 23 Oct 2023 at 12:52

The residents must be well fit there surely, well unless they only go down and get a lift up

That advert always intrigued me.

It was the last place on his round, his bread basket was full when he got there and empty when he left.

From that, I deduce it was the only place on his round and she bought the entire lot.

How are we 6 replies in without anyone bringing this up?

:eek:

Eggy bread dipped into yorkshire gold? Have you heard of hobnobs!!

mrk · 23 Oct 2023 at 13:49

Hobnobs are second rate biscuits

If it's not Golden Oreos or Regal Puffs class biscuits, then it doesn't deserve dunking in my tea.

Yorkshire gold was expecting that to be beer, forgot they had an Indian microclimate, but,
eggy bread (with some sugar in the mix) why not.

Was half expecting Golden Brown song - not new world symph.

Never know if you never try:

I dunk crumpets in my tea.

I remember that advert airing when I was a kid. I also remember the Two Ronnies sketch airing. But this is a fact I didn't know:

It previously featured in the Boy On The Bike advert, directed by Sir Ridley Scott, in 1973.

One of the nations biggest questions:

Hovis, Warburtons or Kingsmill?

Bassmansam · 23 Oct 2023 at 17:55

What happened to thay guy that used to post pics with a loaf of hovis?

Blackjack Davy · 23 Oct 2023 at 17:59

Definitely not Hovis.

jpaul · 23 Oct 2023 at 18:15

are all those breads chorlywood - are they now part of the UPF organisation.

the eggy bread is looking a bit anemic, yes some of the yellow colouring in eggs depends on feed, but frying in butter with some maillard is needed .. and the sugar helps
