The other one is for one of the supermarket chain, Asda?. With Dhermod Kelly Pushing a shopping trolly up the hill. I probably spelled Dhermodt wrong. |

I vaguely remember the old Hovis ad, but no doubt like millions of others always thought it was in Yorkshire Hi Peter, you were very close! Your mention of ASDA was all it took for Sarah to remember that it was in fact an advert for the supermarket chain Morrisons. Seems like they have played on the old advert by using the same location to advertise their own bread! Although I havent seen the advert again, it mentions it on wikipedia here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaftesbury
