Is this really 30yr old?oh,my doesnt time fly :((

Heinz baked beans (3)
A series with two 6-year-old boys, John and his brother:

I sometimes think my Mum prefers my Dad as much as me,
You ought to see the pile of beans she gives my Dad for tea,
I need Heinz beans as much as him — in fact I need them more
'Cause my Dad's very very old — and me I'm only four.
(I'm six really, but it didn't fit.)



We like Heinz Beans a lot, my brother John and me,
We eat them all the time because ... ... ... ...,
We haven't had our beans today,
"There's something wrong" we said,
Until we found the reason was
We'd just got out of bed!
(We knew because we still had our pyjamas on!)



1967:
You can't have stew for breakfast
You can't have porridge for tea
But we have Heinz beans at any time
My brother John and me.



Don't be mean with the beans, Mum,
Beanz meanz Heinz!

love it

Here is another dose of nostalgia - public safety information ads, courtesy of the National Archives. Tufty, Charley the cat, the hammer and peach and many more!

They really don't make them like that any more, which is a shame as my 9 year old actually paid attention to them when I played them for him.
