A frivolous train of thought...

I had white lipstick and also white patterned stockings. It was a couple of years before tights came out. My father hated both and said I looked like a ghost. And does anyone remember black and white PVC hats and coats? They were supposed to be in the style of Courreges, but were more C and A?

'Mabel! Black Label.'

I liked Harry Worth. The window thing was at the start of his show.

Ah yes Janejane60 it was probably Eucryl

When I was a child our toothpaste was solid in a flat tin and you rubbed your wet toothbrush over it. I remember it being pink. Anyone else have that?

? Everyone’s a fruit and nut case?

?Graded grains make finer flour?

Thanks Sassanch512, been driving me mad for years trying to think what it was. I thought it was some kind of sausage!

Not only useless jingles I remember. I am now 77 and I remember the Reg No of my Dad's first car, also remember the telephone number we had when I was growing up. I will never need this info again but retain it, other things I do need or would like to remember I can't

BassGrammy..... with mild green fairy liquid. Think it was Nanette Newman?

The hard toothpaste in a tin was called EUCRYL. Tasted awful.

1001 cleans a big, big carpet for less than half a crown. I think that's how it goes.
Toberlone out on its own.

Does anyone remember Gordon Moores toothpaste? It was deep red. It stained your gums so apparently made your teeth whiter. I’m desperately trying to recall other things from the past now !

“We are the Ovaltines happy boys and girls.” “ mash means Smash”

Maxfactor...turquoise lid. Water did not give you the right consistency as spit did...hahaha

All I can remember is a rose appearing from his thumb!
Can't remember much else about Harry Worth either

Norman Vaughan, was he the one who used to go "swinging" (thumb up) "dodgy" (thumb down)
Harry Worth takes me back, he never gets a mention these days. He always came across as a bumbling old duffer but that was his act. Can't say I found him very funny though.

Cooee Mr Shifter, we still use that line now!

Also 'go to work on an egg'. 'Roses grow on you' Norman Vaughan I think.

Does anyone else remember Harry Worth, standing on the corner of a glass window, and lifting an arm and leg in the air? My sister and I used to do lots when out shopping with mum. Not sure if it was for an advert or not though.

Sorry Bradfordlass fat finger syndrome again ?

Bradgfordlass you forgot the best bit after "cooee Mr Shifter" on the PG Tips ad, its "daad do you know the piano's on my foot?" and dad says, (tinkling the ivories) "you hum it son, I'll play it"

Singlegrannie, yes - I had forgotten Miner's 'Way out pink' - I wore that too. The 'Richard Shops' jingle is driving me crazy right now - 'wish I hadn't thought of it this morning. I also remember 'tasty, tasty' etc. but not what the product was - so that wasn't very good advertising! I do agree that it's a wonder we didn't all go blind, or suffer with non stop conjunctivitis thanks to spitting on the brush or the mascara block. Like many other things that would be frowned upon now, we somehow survived without damage.

It was Kellog's Bran flakes Bazza and they still are

Tasty tasty very very tasty, they’re very tasty. Can’t remember what it was that was tasty, but who came up with that jingle?!

Remember Lucky Numbers sweets?
Lucky Numbers,Lucky Numbers,
Chocolate and chew,
You’ll be lucky,I’ll be lucky,
He’ll be lucky too.

Or words to that effect!

Remember so many of these but the one that sticks in my mind is

Sirdar Wools are better by far
S-I-R-D-A-R
Sirdar Wools are better by far
You love what you knit with Sirdar!

Strange as I am not a knitter

Remember the mascara well. Used to use saliva for the moisture. Horror of horror nowadays. Anyone remember the hard toothpaste in a round tin. Used to have to scrub the stuff with your tooth brush to get any on.
