One thousand and one ..

Ooh, I love those Boddington's ads! Have just forwarded that and the gondola one, to sister in the US. Classics! So thanks to whoever reminded me.

Why does nobody make really funny ads any more? So many are just plain boring, often dubbed from another language.

BTW does anyone else remember 'Naughty but nice!' (Cream cakes.). It was dreamed up by an old school friend of dh, who was working for an ad agency at the time.,

Persil washes whiter - and it shows.

We’re you wafted here from paradise?
No, Luton Airport!

Go to work on an egg...apparently dreamt up by Faye Weldon

I’m Prudence Potts the pan inspector
Prudence Potts the spot detector

I don't know why, but there's a really boring one I somehow remember - maybe because it was so boring!

A 50 ish woman, halfway through shampooing her hair at the washbasin, then saying brightly, 'The sooner I get this over with, the better! There's Prince's salmon for tea!'

P.A.l. prolonged active life
Loved the gold blend,Oxo and BT add also...
Never watch add now...

..also the stork v butter add
..and the 'go to work on an egg' one....frys Turkish delight one also...

sorry my phone keeps adding a d onto ad...

You're never alone with a Strand.
Don't forget the TV Times, don't forget the TV Times. The only way to see what's coming on ITV is to go and get the TV Times.

Not we’re, were! ?

“Ow d’yer do it, Stanley?”
“It’s Tankard that helps me excel.
After one I’ll do anything well!”
Whitbread Tankard, the pint that thinks it’s a quart.
The visuals were an animation of a redheaded Stanley wearing a tank top, managing to stop a runaway train.

Also, I remember: “Tunes help you breathe more easily”

"Golden Wonder, they're jungle fresh"

Love that these are still coming in! ?

Witzend so funny .... Imagine washing your hair then looking forward to some tinned salmon for tea!

When I wake up
in the morning light,
I put on my jeans
and I feel alright
I pull Brutus jeans on,
I put my Brutus jeans on
(or more or less those words, anyway.)

I remember David Dundas going on to have a hit with the song, with a slight tweak to the lyrics, in the mid 70s, when I was in my mid teens. Happy days ?

Have we had the Esso ad, ‘Put a Tiger in your Tank’?

What about the Milk Tray man?

“Mummy. Why are your hands so soft?” Because they’ve been in water all day dosing the bloomin’ dishes! ?

‘Doing’ not ‘dosing’ ?

I remember June Whitfield confessing that bought pastry made a dishonest woman of her...

Arrrr, Coates cumz oop from Somerzet
where the cider apples grow.......

Very late to this thread but happy memories. How about

Sirdar wool is better by far
S I R D A R
Sirdar wool is better by far,
Always ask for sirdar.

To this day it pops into my head from time to time!

Well done ladies! So many great ones on here that I’ve enjoyed - thanks to your excellent memories! Late to the thread or not, they were good ones Mancgirl and MamaCass!

Haven't read the whole thread, so apologies if this one's already put in an appearance:

Winter evenings last for longer,
so you'll need more light and stronger,
Mazda lamps stay brighter longer
Always ask for Mazda.
