Insist on the best, and buy John west!.. Some pan scourer, and Lake windermere?..

think it was an Indesit ad, where the action repeats itself and adds another character to itself..........and then carries on..if you know what i mean!!!!!!!!!

Babycham, the genuine champagne perry!.. with that smiley Bambi..

One from the early 60's Hadrian hadrian the deep gloss paint for a real professional finish use hadrians......... Must have been before Dulux......................

I think it was for Carling Black Label where the squirrel did all sorts of acrobatic things and the caption was, 'I bet he drinks Carling Black Label. The other one I loved was a bulldog, a black and white cat and a little mouse did an advert for Gas, I think. Jo.

What was that one which said at the end......and the ice melts.

LOL I reckon Christine in Edinburgh never watched programmes when she was growing up she only watched the ads. Whats funny Christine is I remember all you mentioned I'm singing along with them too LOL> Esso Blue wasnt that the 1960's? Pat x

Hi all, brilliant web site for old ads is at http://www.markmcm2002.verysmooth(.)co(.)uk/ads_a-f1.html Remember to remove brackets Jackie x

I remember the stylophone, in fact I still had one, I think my son has it now if he hasn't binned it, and I had a tressy doll, did anyone have Tippy Tumbles? I did and then when some of Mum and Dad's friends came round I said their daughter could have her.... do you know they let her take it!!!!! - Yes June nr Preston that means you! Something about teaching me not to give things away.... a hard lesson to learn. Now then I remember an advert .....it was a cartoon with three dancing girls with skirts made from currants - dancing I think to the tune of Diamonds are a girls best friend..... only it was "Whitworths are a girls best friend" Remember that one? - Gaynor Ann

Lipsmackinthirstquenchin acetastinmotivatingoodbuzzin cooltalkinhighwalkinfastlivin evergivincoolfizzin pepsi! I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony...... Christine It's true Pat I can remember the ads better than the progs, probably 'cause half the time they're better.

So true Christine, But its funny until people mentioned these ads I couldnt think of any now I realise I remember every bl***y one. Are we sad or just great at spotting what was really good and what was rubbish??? I thought we made cups of tea when ads were on now thinking about it, the tea was made in time for the next ad break LOL> God I'm still singing blue blue blue esso blue, and inbetween Im a secret lemonade drinker, whispering R whites R whites LOL.

I think it's a sign of getting old Pat, when you can remember all this from years ago but can hardly remember what you did a couple of days ago! Christine (43 feeling 73)

I am so glad I started this thread. I have realy had a trip down memory lane. Some toys have been mentioned and this has reminded me of another one. WEEBLES WOBBLE BUT THEY DON'T FALL DOWN
