John Lydon revives Country Life butter sales
Unlikely dairy spokesman proves a hit
Sex Pistols' John Lydon has apparently helped to revive sales of the butter brand Country Life.
The punk frontman has been appearing in TV adverts for its makers Dairy Crest, who have claimed that the brand’s sales have risen by 83 per cent, reports Reuters.
Lyndon has appeared in a series of adverts with the slogan "It’s all about great butter."
The advert received heavy criticism from some fans - for Lydon apparently selling out his punk values.
