I married a welsh girl 20 yrs ago and love her more each day I,m a Brummie, a sarcastic ba***rd. My then girlfriend had no sense of humour, she got used to me and my piss taking family, grannies inc she also loves the advert, but surprisingly her family (who still live in Wales) do not. The ad works, it sells the product remember taffs, you take the piss out of your best friend, you blank your foes. If the workers in the ad are Welsh then I’ll take my hat off to them.

Apparently, the ad came about from a suggestion made by some of the workers at that factory and they actually appear in the ad. It amused me that some of them were actually miners before they began work at the Pot Noodle Factory.
