@@dickterpene8697 No, he's just exemplifying the famous brand of dry English humor that can be found in larger quantities than in hardly any other nationality.
"I'm a Geordie, man, you English can't kid me" - fascinating little example of the way local identities have evolved from being stronger than to weaker than national identities.
@@marcus3173this is why it never made sense to me that the older generations had more "love" for royalty than the younger ones. They're all the way down in London!
Last of the Summer Wine and Heartbeat always gave me that feeling. Still brings it back if I hear the theme tunes - and I've not been in school for a good 20 odd years now :D
I love the fact that the regional sense of feeling was so strong back then that a BBC, RP pronouncing reporter was considered 'English' therefore foreign to a geordie 😍
@@peterduncan5034I admit it's a bit confusing. As far as I've ever known, Geordies were always extremely proud English people; I suspect she was just being sarcastic.
Mmmm... boiled bran flavoured crisps. Yummy! Love it with a bit of dried bovril. In all seriousness the flavours could have been stronger and less regulated then than they are now.
My god, the recklessness of the BBC introducing the primitive tribal 1970's British public to such exotic flavours as chicken, prawn cocktail, and plain. Please, think of the children!
It was deliberately promoted to the public to create poor diet choices. The GOV has always wanted to hurt the public. They were doing germ wormfare tests on the same public at this time.
British invented crisps. These were all new flavours. No one else in the world had. So you seem confused about the historical significance and judge it based on your idea of the modern world. You lack imagination and intelligence.
The first time I watched "Look around you" season 2, specifically the Petticoat 5 sketch with Patricia ________ (silent surname LOL), played by Belinda Stewart-Wilson, I thought the teeth were a joke. The host in this clip certainly shows those teeth were a thing.
She was Mental, didn't have a Geordie accent and seemed to believe that Geordies aren't English, That's Life used to deliberately root out the Crazies.
I see your point, these are natural teeth and were/still are acceptable. Now most in society are walking around with Turkey Teeth, so I'd rather have Esther's than that 😂
Back in my day, there were one flavour and one flavour only; Tripe, and we ate it whether we liked it or not, and if I we didn't eat it, we'd get a clip round ear with belt. The good old days...
now i see how we ended up with that stereotype... the teeth thing. that's really not that common though, its mainly posh people due to inbreeding. lol.
These were blind tastings. I think marketing goes a long way in our perception of flavour. When I see a picture of roast chicken on the packet then that’s what I’ll expect.
As a Geordie, I can confirm it was a trick question: they all tasted like cardboard. Plain cardboard, to be precise, not that fancy flavoured sea-salt stuff - just cardboard.
Obviously we're not perfect and obviously there are problems today but I wish people would take off their rose-tinted spectacles and stop acting as if literally everything was so much better in the past. Classism, sexism, poverty, malnutrition, violence, crime, etc... there's no such thing as a golden era.
On a very random note their fashion is super interesting. It wasn’t long ago that everyone had their heads covered all the time! Men wore flat caps, or top hats. Women wore headscarves or hats
This is just a reminder that if you think that crisps taste like what is written on the packet you might need your tastebuds testing. Get it free on the NHS.
They are right. Most people are used to what the crisp flavors taste like and can now identify them, as well as the association with packaging but in reality they don't taste much like what they are supposed to represent unless heavy with salt, vinegar or that cheese flavoring. If they came up with any new ones the public would struggle to identify anything in the same way
Is madness. I expect in the year 2000 they'll have pigeon flavour, tuna flavour, and banana flavours etc. I'd like Strawberry flavour even! Also rude name here 1:08
They all them right ,,, it’s artificial flavours …far far away from original flavours, we don’t know what we are eating now !!! it’s all fake crap , 😅😅😅😅
Those people are right, I don't think many of us would know what flavour the crisps were unless it said so on the pack. Onion is probably the only flavour they can replicate
