British commerce boomed through the
1960s, and nowhere did it boom more noisily and merrily than in the humble pub.
The first sketches for Concorde were
famously done in a puddle of spilt Gin & Quosh, and the iconic hand-drawn logo
for Welland’s Filter-Tipped cigarettes was, said designer Neville Turpin, “scribbled
on the back of a fag packet”.
Long liquid luncheons are said to have
saved the UK many a multi-million on the Channel Tunnel, as the British construction
team had only advanced thirty yards in sixteen years when they met the French coming the other way.
Keen to capitalise on the productive
(not to mention reproductive!) atmosphere of the lunchtime tipple, the NOI ran
this campaign, featuring the then and still unheard of Angela Moldewarp.
Really great work !
