People coughing and spluttering and someone telling them to 'trap your germs in a hankerchief'..Yuk !

LOL, This has been quite a trip down memory lane eh? I can recall the Hoffmeister ads ( follow the bear) and The Heineken ads - particularly at christmas..... refreshes the parts that other beers don't reach. Also the Scotch VHS tape adverts with the skeleton.... Scotch has a lifetime garauntee, Re-record not fade away, Re-record not fade away.....LOL XX Sioux

Clunck Click every Trip! remember hearing it rather than seeing it.

Close your eyes go back in time, When clothes smelled clean on the washing line, Before the Internet, before Big Mac, Before semi automatics, joyriders and crack, Before hooligans, muggers, pushers and drugs, Cheats, the 'F' word, yobs and thugs, I'm talking about hide and seek in the park, Shining torches in the dark, Spangles, kali, liquorice wood, Penny loaves, didn't they smell good, Wasn't the world a happier place? When life moved at a slower pace.

You'll wonder where the yellow went when you brush your teeth with pepsodent. Now its more like you'll wonder where the yellow went when you soak your teeth in steradent lol. Jenny

Spangles sweets...children dressed up as the sweets and possibly coming down a slide and... Toffo...sure is a mighty chew! A cowboys theme on this one if I remember correctly. Iv'e just remembered the scary 'grim reaper' one about not playing by water...and who can forget lovely Rolf Harris 'scaring the life out his mum and dad',when he almost drowned!

Does anyone else remember the Mackeson adverts? The bottles played cricket and football and I seem to remember them bending like rubber! I think they were narrated by Bernard ? who used to say 'Go to work on an egg'. I can see him now - bald head and a West Country (?) accent, but I can't for the life of me remember his surname. The earliest advert I remember is also the Pepsodent one. Wasn't Leslie Ash the little girl in the Fairy Liquid adverts? 'Mummy why are your hands so soft?' Sue xx

The advert I remeber most of all was Alan Freeman advertising washing powder. Some of the adverts were filmed on location at the School I attended. (Hatfield Grammar - during the mid 1960's) Gosh I suddenly feel very old !!!!

Nuts, Whole Hazelnuts, Cad-bu-ry take them, and they cover them in choco-late..... Happiness is a Cigar called Hamlet.... Double Diamond works wonders..... Shield soap. Only the crumbliest flakiest chocolate, tastes like chocolate never tasted before....

I also thing There's a Humphrey about' is my earliest memoryo f an advert, oh, and the Cornflake ad with that Tiiiiiiiiigggggggggger! And as for 'The Peas go Pop! That was Patsy Kensik when she was very little!

The Coca Cola advert. 'I'd love to give the world a Coke' then they would have choirs from all over the world singing - think it was an old Seekers song - funny, I don't really remember the song but loved the ad. Libby x
