Poor Anthony telling his gran Beattie (Maureen Lipman) on the phone (BT) that he hadn't done very well in his exams.

Beattie replied..
'But you got an Ology, you could be a scientist'!!

What's the beer that's always best ?
Watney's draught Red Barrel.

See what one or Toucan do ( Guiness).

“Beer at home means Davenports. That’s the beer, lots of cheer!”

“She flies like a bird in the skyyyyyy. She flies like a bird, oh me oh myyyy, see her fly.” (Nimble bread)

“Everyone’s a fruit and nut case, crazy for those Cadbury’s nuts and raisins.”

I’d like to buy the world a coke

Or was it teach the world to sing?

Whatever, it was a lovely song advertising Coca Cola

Gillette ? Some razor blade Company

As a child I obviously spent too much time watching ITV.

Take a biscuit that’s no bigger than a button
Take a raisin that’s been lazin’ in the sun
Cover them with something something chocolate
Take a Tiffin take them all in one

That’s not a tv ad but was on Radio Luxembourg in the early 1960s. But I never actually saw a Tiffin though they sounded lovely!

Just remembered these:

Nuts whole hazel nuts, Cadbury’s take them and cover them in chocolate.

Buy some for Lulu ( Smarties ad)

I also remember an ad for an aspirin (maybe Aspro)that helped if you were feeling one degree under. For years I thought there was a nasty illness called “wondergreunder”. I was very young at the time!

Willynilly I remember the Davenports ad, think it was just shown in the Midlands as they were a Birmingham brewery on Broad street near the “Acci” hospital. Both are long gone.
