I agree Granmardyby about real potatoes for mash, but the advert was 'for mash get Smash'. I can honestly say I never tried it.

Grandmarderby it was Hovis, as Pollydolly said -
when they trudged up a hill and I think young lad had a flat cap on.
Please tell me what “plopped ham with chalk” was ?

Umbongo ✅
The sensual Flake advert,
and was it Yellow Pages Chestnut ?

Right on both counts.

H1954 yours is ringing a bell but I’m unsure.
Is it Milk Tray? Or Black Magic?
