BFM == Bell Fruit Machines
BFG == Big Friendly Giant

Makes me think exactly the same thing every time!

I guess they changed it to distance themselves from "just fruit machines".

I always thought the 'M' stood for 'Manufacturing'.

They should take the bells off of the reel bands and go back to the yellow oblong's with "BELL FRUIT" on.

bfm used to have a large depot near me in bilston, in about '95. i worked for a snooker and pool supplier for abit and we went there to get some pool tables. we walked in there and it was like a dream!!! 1000's of fruits , all ready for despatch, i remember seeing a line of "make a millions" in there stretching off into the distance.

if it was there now ... i can imagine a noel edmonds fan club setting up in there!!!!

There are Austin Allegro driver's clubs, so I imagine there must be a Noel Edmond's fan club out there somewhere.

It was merged with the Frontal Lobotomy Club.

These were the reel symbols Bell Fruit Manufacturing used in the 70s,The three gold bells have always been their logo.

They should take the bells off of the reel bands and go back to the yellow oblong's with "BELL FRUIT" on
