So, to but in. No holiday photos.
But, general knowledge, part of the title.
Advertising. Probably the best sound bite of all time "Wonderloaf. The same price as ordinary bread"
The only thing it was is, it was ordinary bread. Depending on your choice of flavour etc it was  no different to its main competitors. Mothers Pride and oh dear I've forgotten the name but their distribution depot was opposite hot point in the junction. Was it country maid?
 But, mid 1970s all over the country, prime advertising sites alongside main roads had posters  "NOW AT LAST FOR BRITAIN ITSELF"  Nothing else. No clue as to who or what it was all about. Even the men who where puting up the posters had'nt  got a clue"
Who or what was it advertising?

An unusual monument in a field. Where in North Wales is it, and which famous writer is it dedicated to?

That's Dr Samuel Johnson's Monument in Denbigh, is the writer  Beatrix Potter?

I think you will find that the Dr himself is the famous writer having made great contributions to English Literature.  Beatrix Potter also stayed in the area with her Uncle, possibly even at The Dr's cottage, and so there is a connection.

I'm after a second opinion here Yorkie but you are probably correct, where's Dave gone to though?      www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CBJ32-QXZc‎

That's a shame Yorkie but it's only a short clip of Dr Johnson's cottage and monument lasting just 1min  16 secs.
