London Transport |
| Here’s another little cracker, our RT carrying the London Transport colours as requested by so many of our members. The advertising on this bus is for Golden Wonder crisps that were so much part of our diet - like so many of our loved brands its been lost during ‘globalisation’. I did a bit of research into the brand as I was trying to find out who the character on the side of the bus was , Dusty assures me that he was known as Sid but I’m not so sure -perhaps some of our members will remember. Anyway, back in 1947, Baker William Alexander founded Golden Wonder. The company was the first to introduce “Ready Salted” crisps, that didn’t require the customer to add his own flavour. Later, Golden Wonder pioneered other flavours, starting in 1962 with Cheese And Onion, and further diversifying a decade afterwards with the cheesy Wotsit, the most orange of all the snacks. This is an authentic livery as seen on the buses around London in the 50’s. |
