A trip down memory lane

3 Jun 2006

Just looked at one of my posts and it got me thinking how some adverts long past there sell by date just seem to stick in your head for ever biggrin

"A dog barking somewhere in Sussex, can be heard from a village in Kent." <Something, something, something> "Mines's a pint of JC".
The advert for Courage JC.
I detest adverts with a passion and they drive me :taz: , but if I had to choose one, this visually and aurally gorgeous JC advert from my youth featuring a group of people wandering back to the pub in the evening sunshine after watching the village cricket match sticks out in my mind. I can still see the closing shot of pint of crystal clear ale in a smooth-sided beer mug.
Now then - dimple beer mugs. There's something you don't see now, sadly.

"There was i thinking about Dave...Dave's great, Dave can do anything...when POW! up pops my fairy Godmother with the "I'll give you 3 wishes routine". Wish no,1 is easy, then i wish we were both at the seaside. "Come on Dave, let's swim I say" "It's just not my scene, man" says Dave. What he really meant was, he couldn't swim. ......
Why on earth I still know this ad off by heart God only knows, but we used to substitute some of the words as kids, "there was i thinking about Sausages, Sausages are great, Sausages can do anything....when up pops my fairy Sausage.." Funny how I was obsessed with sausage at such an early age, some things just never leave you i guess... wink

Hope this works but its an ad for clarks shoes. A young girl explains that all her brothers and sisters wear Clarks shoes and then goes on to explain what each one of them is going to be when they grow up, & she's going to be a proper little madam biggrin

Only the crubliest flakiest chocolate.......

I'm afraid I even remember the era of cigarette adverts on TV. redface

As well as "you're never alone with a Strand", there was "people are changing to Guards" - a bloke walking a dog disappears behind a tree and comes out the other side walking the same dog, but he has morphed into a guardsman with bearskin. Quaint! lol

How about;
A million housewives everyday,
Pick up a tin of beans and say,
Beans
Means
Farts...................or something like that.
Then there was poor old Charly, always miowing at his boy owner that he shouldn't go off to a picnic with his friends without telling mummy. Lucky boy got to go to the swings instead, and mummy bought him an ice cream :!:
Ahhhhhhhhh happy days............................ biggrin

Or what about Petunia, and I think he was called Albert, dropping litter in the country. At the end, the farmer was doing his little country dance.
Another time they were at the seaside, Albert with his knotted hankie around his head, when a boat overturned, and the daft beggars thought that the drowning men were waving to them.
Truly classic!
Yes, I spent most of my youth glued to the tv
lol

If anyone can remember his name, please enlighten me :idea:
