But what do you think? - annoying TV adverts
Metr0Land replied to Belsay Lad's topic in Wheeltappers
Actually not so odd whilst we're tripping down memory lane. IIRC the ad agency who came up with the robots for Cadburys Smash believed in what they were doing but were totally convinced the Cadburys execs would throw it out without giving it the time of day. The ad agency test marketed it and recorded the interviews etc and showed Cadburys the feedback and how well received it was, before they dared show them the robots. -

"One thousand and one cleans a big big carpet for less than half a crown" (that's twelve and a half pence for younger viewers and listeners) -
Not so daft..... though it would have to be blue/red. Derby RTC had one as Test Car 1: http://www.traintesting.com/freight.htm In later years it was painted choc/cream and later sold into preservation. IIRC there was a limited edition of the red/blue one (Modelzone?)

Much as I dislike giving money to Sky the one great thing about Sky+ box is the fact we rarely watch anything now as broadcast but play later on the Sky+ box and FF through all the adverts. Sometimes where eg it's expected to be good like a new 2 hour episode of Lewis we start approx 20mins after prog starts and then we're more or less on time at 10pm due to all the advert breaks. Has smug got one g or 2? -

Said to be professionally weathered. So do professional weatherers fog up all the windows? Is that what the protoype looks like in everyday service?

The only reason I can think of is both bidders have scores of 7 and 9 (at time of writing this) and don't have the experience of looking around and/or waiting?

I think you'll find only 43089 has Hitachi branding/gubbins inside. The other 3 yellow power cars are slightly plainer (IIRC 43013/43014/43062) Not sure if 43089 has any external mods as compared with the others.
