Being a Scot, I HAD to look twice at the name.

The idea of a 'Bru convention is too funny for words!



I hope it's PHENOMENAL for all who go!

YouTube - Irn Bru Snowman Advert

An old one from the '80s, part of the 'Made in Scotland from Girders' tag line they used for years.
A parody just like most of the others:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9G3pR...eature=related

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ytsiz...eature=related

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_f7W...eature=related

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5Dny-s27Dk

Lastly, very funny, but, this didn't go down very well with some. Can't possibly imagine why ....:

You can always rely on Irn Bru not to take their adverts TOO seriously!

See you, I need to make a brew now!!

A cup of tea to anyone who doesn't know.


By the way, Irn Bru is Scotland's other national drink after Whisky. No, seriously.
First made by J.M.(?) Barr in about 1895 it was too.

So, get some Bru! come on, you know you want too!!



If you see anything with a spelling such as Iron Brew, then it's a cheap fake.

Why do they always plan these two conventions on the same date. I like both conventions very much, but it's always on the same day. Since they on the same day I had to choose for Düsseldorf, but I like Brussels very much as well.

Please move the Brussels convention one week before or after.
That would be great, or even move it to sunday instead of saturday.

Agreed... yet when it comes to models planes, DUS rules.

Don't get me wrong, I have been a big supporter of Olivier and his show as well.

You were my biggest customer at Dusseldorf.
