This comic advert for Shippam's Country Pot, which features the stentorian voice of Donald Sinden, shows a genteel lady at the Vicar's tea party and a Bertie Wooster-type man at his Club blurt out 'Oooh-Aaar!' when they chomp into sandwiches filled with tasty Country Pot spreads. After a display of the succulent foods and spices that go into every Country Pot jar, the joke is reversed when a burly farmer, sitting on his tractor, bites into a sandwich and says 'By George!'
