The Lincolnshire connection

Yes Steve the Fudge advert is set to the tune of the Lincolnshire Poacher, and the fudge advert "jingle" was put together by Mike d'Abo based on that folk tune, and is probably the most well known rendition of the tune.myglaren wrote: 11 Apr 2022, 10:27 Was it intentional that I got the Fudge advert?
Rewound it and got the whole thing after that though.

Indeed it does Neil, well spotted. I will confess to not having read that section of the page as I jumped down to the extensive and attractive gallery. I can say that DC has never really impressed me either as a driver or a presenter, although I don't question his expertise. He just seems to exhibit a slightly aloof air which puts me off. Together with Johnny Herbert they would have made great bookends for the infamous Frost Report three men sketches:NewcastleFalcon wrote: 11 Apr 2022, 13:28Come on Mick sharpen your pencil, as resident Formula 1 aficionado in my eyes, quite an obvious Kircudbrightshire connection jumped out of the Wiki page.mickthemaverick wrote: 11 Apr 2022, 12:45 My personal knowledge of this county is about the same as my knowledge of the eating habits of the Outer Mongolian tree toad![]()

The entry in the Ordnance Survey Object Name Book, written in 1847, states:
"A row of houses in good repair having a garden attached to each. The property of Jas. McLeod of Drumjohn. The name originates from one of the houses being used as a public house and having for its sign board the likeness of a famed racehorse called the Beeswing."
