I must have been bored... and a wee(tabix) bit sad... :)

I was flicking around the Web last night whilst listening to my iRiver when the song Lola came on (The Robbie Williams version from the Radio 1 album) and that got me reminiscing about one of my favourite adverts... The Weetabix ad with the scouts on the camping trip ( Does anyone remember it?) Well I thought I would try to find it. I checked on Youtube but it wasn't there. Then I thought I'd try the Weetabix website...
Now the website has a great old media seciotn called the the Time Machine. It has some old ads. And It was fascinating to watch them :) But they didn't have the Lola one.
Undaunted by this I decided to email them a request to put the Lola one up. Yes I really did.
Today I got this reply.....

Dear Mr CJ

Many thanks for your enquiry.

We are in fact trying to add old adverts to the Time Machine. Some are not in a suitable format and some have been lost in the mists of time but every effort is being made to increase the number available.

I cannot say if the Lola ad will make it but if possible it will be!

Hope this helps and thank you again for taking the time to contact us.

So I am still no further in getting to see this fantastic ad.
I hope it hasnt been lost in the mists of time- perhaps we can set up a Blue Peter Plea like they did with old episodes of Dr Who.
What d'you say? Shall I email Blue Peter?
