Yes Peter I was just picking one I recalled. I think the toothpaste advert is the first I remember it coming up in a quiz once.

About 1961 a Smartie advert....'whatalotigot' and ended by saying, ..' buy some for LULU' (god I feel old now!)

Brylcreem, a little dab'll do ya, Brylcreem, you'll look so debonair!, Brylcreem, the girls'll all pursue ya!, They'll love to run their fingers through your hair! Can you imagine anything worse than doing that???? Gwyn

'The Esso sign means happy motoring.... call at the Esso sign. Esso Extra!' And there was a little Esso man you could buy as a keyring. When I was a little girl in the '60s we lived for a while in Singapore and there was an advert for flour on TV I've never forgotten: 'Mrs Lee and Mrs Tan go to market every day, Fish to buy and vegetables too and of course wheat flour as well!' I think the spiel went on to talk about the benefits of wheat in comparison to rice. Ah, happy days!

joan collins and leonard rositier - the martini adverts 'any time any place' also loved the smash adverts and pg tips chimps 'you hum it and i ll play it'

'Because graded grains make finer flour'

Oh, and I forgot this tongue twister of an ad: 'Chef square shaped soups show how a good soup should be!' Gosh, that reminds me of years ago, coming home for lunch from school and having Chef square shaped soups with bread dipped in LOL!

... all together now ... 'Do the Shake N Vac and put the freshness back...' 'They asked me how I knew, it was Esso Blue, I of course replied, with lower grades one buys Smoke gets in your eyes' 'She flies like a bird in the sky-yyy She flies like a bird and I wish that she were mine ...' (for Nimble Bread)

It seems like we can remember moree about the adverts than the programmes which should tell us something!! Ann Glos

1001 cleans a big, big carpet for less than half a crown!

I remember 'Bom Boom Boom Boom - Esso Blue' and the Cresta Bear 'It's frothy man'

Way down deep in the middle of the Congo, a hippo took an apricot, a guava and a mango. He stuck it with the others, and he danced a dainty tango. The rhino said, 'I know, we'll call it Um Bongo', Um Bongo, Um Bongo, They drink it in the Congo. The python picked the passion fruit, the marmoset the mandarin. The parrot painted packets that the whole caboodle landed in. So when it comes to sun and fun and goodness in the jungle, They all prefer the sunny funny one they call Um Bongo!

R whites lemonade I'm a secret lemonade drinker bloke creeping down the stairs in his pjs . Glacier mints with the animal that stood on the mint. Smash with the aliens
