If you were flying the Concorde tomorrow well done you'd be on an aeroplane in the past.

WHAT? I just don't understand.

I think they're trying to say that it's so fast, that you actually got there yesterday.

(the well done should be in parentheses).

I see your take but God that's a dreadful ad. Ambiguous and confusing.

The Concorde advt (or is it an advert for a watch?) was not likely to have run in the 1960s (per the tag). Although Concorde prototypes flew in 1969, the first commercial flight of the Concorde wasn't until 1976.

Ah, I apologize. It was in a 1960s based web site.

Don't think so. I'll run it through the font detector.
