“Th’maght loook the same but th’doon’t taaste the same,” reasoned the serious-faced little Yorkshire kid when his brother came up with a scheme that involved eating cheap beefburgers instead of Birdseye…

Cue voiceover as the advert ends: “Birds Eye Beefburgers – somehow, other beefburgers just don’t taste the same.”
If you remember this advert, the really oniony taste of 70s Birdseye Beef Burgers, and Leeds being the biggest club in the country then you really should own a copy of retro-footy-grumble-fest ‘Got, Not Got’ … you can get it from branches of WH Smith and Waterstones or online here…
