It's difficult to explain just how bad food was in the UK in the eighties. This was a commercial. To make people come and buy food. That was this.

The most powerful nation in the world, with all its vast resources at hand and in command of the most formidable intelligence agencies on the planet, got the address for the BBC from a 1970s copy of the Yellow Pages....
Amused that Trump's lawyers really sent the legal letter to:
BBC Television Centre,
London W12 8QT.
I wonder if they included a self addressed envelope for a reply and called 018118055 to confirm receipt.

The James Bond franchise faces a big problem: me, the viewer, has been shot at the start of the movie through the barrel of my gun, and I'm dripping blood over my own eye balls (they're in the gun)

‘Nickname’ is not ‘nick’ + ‘name.’
It was originally ‘ekename.’
‘Eke’ was the Middle English word for “also” or “in addition.”
Since ‘ekename’ began with a vowel, people used ‘an’ before it.
Over time, 'an ekename' became 'a nickname.'
