A couple of weeks ago I mentioned the prominent McCain products in the fridge that didn't get smashed up in the shop, now tonight we've had 2 prominent appearances of the bus with a big McCain advert on the side. it's been around for the past year or so now, obviously there's no other adverts on buses in that part of West Yorkshire!
