Ansell's Bittermen, Tony. Real men with clearly no time for the niceties of toilet hygiene. Just roll up your newsaper and drain it on the terrace, or down someone's leg.

Tetley Bittermen round these parts, but the tune was exactly the same.
Didn't know this was one of Jeff's; he sure wrote some banging advertising themes!

"Punk had a genuine impact on the faraway towns like Northampton, where Bauhaus emerged. It was a new filter and turned us into dancing medieval jesters or flamboyant second-hand clothes-wearing punchbags for the retro thugs and Tetley Bittermen to assault."
'How did Bauhaus manage to appear from the ether in Northampton so fully formed that they recorded this song of stunning originality and artful daredevil brilliance three weeks after their first rehearsal?'

I was walking through Leeds city centre wearing a long leather overcoat one night when a group of Tetley Bittermen, "They roam the streets in packs of 10", asked if I was "A fucking Commie". I put on my best Glasgow accent & replied "Whit if I fucking wuz?". They looked confused & walked away😱
