You're never alone with a Strand.
Peril washes whiter, and it shows.
A Mars a day helps you work rest and play.
Don't forget the fruit gums mum.
Go to work in an egg.
There must be lots more.

Opal fruits made to make your mouth water
Don't forget the fruitgums mum

I don't think it's a cigarette, just her finger with a strange blob on the end!

Strongbow - as strong as your thirst.

'Only the crumbliest, flakiest chocolate....' Cadbury's Flake.

The original tiger in your tank advert is much older than 22 years. I remember collecting free artificial fur tiger tails from petrol stations when I was a child - and that wasn't yesterday. grin

Hello Lullydully.

This was a competition entry from a 60 yr. old Arkansas farmer's wife, back in the thirties

LullyDully Fri 30-Sept-16 16:32:14

Oops beam me up.!!!! Is that a cigarette in her little hand????

There was a good cartoon in (I think) the Mail back in the early 60s. A colonel type of fellow shows off a tiger-skin rug, saying: 'Bagged him on the M1, old boy'.
