In December 1967, five young typists in an office in Surbiton decided to work an extra half an hour unpaid each day to help Britain’s struggling economy. Within days, their “I’m backing Britain” campaign snowballed. More workers joined in, badges were made and Bruce Forsyth recorded a single. An editorial in the Financial Times called the campaign “a beacon of light in an otherwise dismal economic and industrial prospect” and commended its spirit if not its economic logic.
1967年12月,瑟比頓(Surbiton)一間辦公室內的5名年輕的打字員決定每天無償多工作半小時,以幫助英國不景氣的經濟。幾天之內,他們的“我支持英國”運動就像滾雪球一樣越滾越大。更多員工加入進來,徽章被制作出來,布魯斯?福賽思(Bruce Forsyth)還錄制了一首單曲。英國《金融時報》的一篇社論稱這場運動是“黯淡的經濟和工業前景中的一座燈塔”,并稱贊了其中的精神,即便沒有稱贊它的經濟邏輯。
