OK, Carlton Draught, maker of The Big Ad, we do love your quirky approach to selling beer. For years, you managed to do it without making guys look like idiots or tantalizing us with bikini-clad bimbos. For that alone you should get some kind of award.

Yes, you’ve done the skydiving thing before but tossing a car out of an airplane (yea, that’s been done before, too) doesn’t require breast implants. Huh? Anyway, it got a girl – who is fully clothed – a new car. How sweet.

Received Pronunciation, the accent linguists still nickname the Queen’s English, took shape inside a handful of England’s most expensive private schools, and it remains such a reliable marker of that background that a stranger can often place someone’s education within a single sentence.
