	He's on the Kingsmill bread wrappers as well! I wonder how much they (we!?!) paid for that! Fancy Elvis' memory being reduced to advertising bread! What sacrilige! Sue

	Kingsmill have been using Elvis on their TV adverts for quite a while now. Next thing you know they he will be on the side of their delivery vans. Sorry but could never stand the man even when his first record came out. Sue

	Fab marketing ploy, though! Wonder how much they have to pay Elvis's bulti-million estate for the use of his name/image!!
