Hovis: 122 Years

Doesn’t this advert give just so much to talk about in classes… it was a great introduction to my module on “20th Century British History” – interesting to see what events they pick out as worthy of note:

  • Titanic
  • Suffragettes
  • First World War (how young are those soldiers?)
  • Motor Car
  • Second World War: The Blitz, Churchill “We shall fight on the beaches”, a Spitfire
  • Street Party (Victory Celebrations or the 1953 Coronation?)
  • 1960s, including the 1966 celebrations
  • 1980s Miners Strike
  • Millennium Celebrations

KRConnectGood to see that the modern day advertisers keep an eye on what has happened in history! And the CEO is not too busy to check his own blog.. I like that!
