“Cleans a big big carpet
For less than half a crown!” ?

Why is it some adverts stick in our minds over so many years? I can even hear the tune!

Any more ‘old ‘uns’ that we can still remember?

These are making me giggle! Thank you ladies.
I bet most of us press the ‘mute’ button now when the adverts come on! I don’t think we had those back in the day? We nipped out to the loo or put the kettle on ...

The beautiful Katy Boyle with ‘Camay’ soap. I thought it smelt wonderful but mum only bought it once. Said it was too creamy in water and didn’t last. Like others. Ooh we had ‘Pearl’ soap - a marbled green which smelled nice and mum bought so it must’ve been within budget!
