Lager advert. The best ever?

I like the Carlsberg one when the phone rings in the customer complaints department - after dusting the phone down the person picking it up finds out its a wrong number. Calm and collected and said a thousand words.

I remember a beer one for Castle Eden that ran on Tyne Tees and it was about a group of drinkes who came up from the South East for a brewery tour. They were gross stereotypes and complained about the weather, the head on the beer, how far North they have come etc - the brewery staff did not react, but waited till they saw the back of their coach leave and then said something like "what a relief they have gone back". It was a naff ad, but like Foster ads remembered.

You are dead right.

When I described the advert, people in the South wanted a copy. They didn't believe me.

I think near the end you heard them singing "maybe because I am Londoner" as their coach pulled away.

Back in 1985 there was quite a difference in regional beers - many only available is certain parts of the country.

NE beers tended to be malty, dark and slightly sweet with a head of froth.

SE beers were in general lighter, hoppier, no head, slighly lower alcohol content.
