1001 cleans a carpet for less than half a crown ( I'm sure I've missed some words out because it was a jingle )

Notice the ones I remember are mostly work products ?

What’s the beer we all love best? Watneys Draught Red Barrel.

Can’t remember any more, I only remember it because we named our cat Watney after the ad came on the TV.

Birds Eye Potato Waffles are waffley versatile,
They go with beans, bangers, bacon, burgers,
Eggs in, eggs on, gammon ...
Grill ‘em, bake ‘em, fry ‘em, eat ‘em,
Waffley versatile.

This just popped into my head.
I can’t have had a Birds Eye Potato Waffle for 40 years ...

‘That Gladys Althorp, she never buys her own!’
From one of the brilliant Boddington’s ads, still available on YouTube!

Ditto, ‘By the ‘eck, Petal, you smell gorgeous tonight!’

They don’t make ‘em like that any more!
