Yep,
No doubt these would be seen as as politically correct as the inflatable Spitfires carrying St’ George’s flag markings that have been banned from being taken to Germany during that little footie competiton that is rumoured to be on at present, just in case it offends people out there.
Great stuff, and no doubt most of those at risk of being expected to take offence at all this “non-PC” stuff (presumably citizens of a certain European country in particular 😮 ) would actually find (most of) it as funny as we do. Perhaps references Nazis are a bit beyond the pale, but most of these ads would probably not offend most sane people.
It’s just a great shame the “PC-Do gooders” haven’t got the common sense to realise that :rolleyes: .
Oh no, here come the thought police to take me away for PC-conditioning : 😡 !
They’ll never take me alive………… at least not until I’ve finished me pint of Spitfire 😀 .
“Cheers” Chaps!

Fighting talk! I’ll take single malt, haggis, oatcakes, heavy, and slobber profusely at the thought of an Arbroath Smokie but Irn Bru? YUK!
Give me the Black Isle Brewery’s finest anyday – even if it has no girders in it!

I’m suprised the PC brigade hasn’t started having a pop at these yet as they might deem them as ‘offensive to some’. :rolleyes:
That’s half the point, dear boy! The first campaign of ads for the Tube in London was stomped on by the Advertising Standards Agency (? I think!) and Shepherd Neame gained so much publicity that way that they decided it was the way to go and kept creating ads they knew would be banned from the Tube!
Irn Bru did a set at the same time that got a lot of publicity, despite being passed. I particularly enjoyed the picture of the cow with the slogan “When I’m a burger, I want to be washed down with Irn Bru”. Pity the stuff is ghastly…

I’ve always liked the idea of ordering a pint of ‘Thunderbolt’!
A jug would be more appropriate than a pint.

Thanks for posting.

We’ll, I say more please! 😉
Oh, and I really would like to see Sheperd Neame bring out some more Aircraft named beers with flavour and tastes to match.

What a wonderful thread. Bet their advertising agency loves the contract.

Personally I enjoyed “Rear gunners drink lager shandy!”
And, unusually, great ads go with good beer in this case. An eminently quaffable pint!
