Some of these may be staged - i have my suspicions about one (not necessarily the Starbucks, either)

Ah yes, the Wildrose bus. That was real, and created a bit of a stir up here in the Frozen North.

My favourite bus ad was one i saw in London in 1990 - for an Australian near-beer.

In big letters down the side of the bus it said "It won't make a pom tiddly."

================

The one i suspect might have been staged is the one with the guy standing in front of the open-air snack bar with the Coke ad on the front...

I'm aware, but but the visual of Winnie the Pooh facepalming the ad amused me, so I shared it from my thoughtful spot.

Yep. I loved that one. Like all the rest of my photos from Cropredy 1990 and '92 trips, the pic of that one was lost in one of my many moves.
