.... 23 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Littlebro has it with the Camp Coffee slogan. The Gordon Highlander on the bottle label gives the clue to the meaning of 'aye' in the phrase which as well as meaning 'yes' in Scots dialect can also mean 'always'. Literally translated: 'Ready, always ready'. It's a term used in Canada a bit too - I think from the Canadian Navy - probably also taken from Scots dialect no doubt.

.... 23 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 At a not-very-educated guess it will be something to do with a claim of racism. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trevor S 2,003 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 The changes from left to right speak for themselves - from obvious servant to attendant to equal. Incidentally, I reckon Melton Stilton should also get a prize for his answer - he was correct!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mick2me 3,033 Posted March 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Trevor gives the full answer showing the three stages I was aware of the Military connection but Coffee & Chicory was what I was getting at. It would be interesting to know the dates of changes to the label? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
