Clunk Click Campaign

This script was on BBC website - really shows the attitudes of the time! Made me smile anyway...

"JIMMY SAVILE: (sitting in his own car, seatbelt in hand): "It's very likely that 400 of you will be injured in your cars tomorrow. You will be within six miles of home and doing less than 30.
(Cue shot of Wendy Craig-lookalike driving a chic black soft-top Mini.)
"And it's going to happen to a lot of you ladies. You'll be shopping, collecting the kids, going to the launderette.


Seat belt

See Jimmy's warning
"But for some of you, the face you start out with in the morning won't be the same face you end up with by the evening.
(Cue woman crashing through windscreen, cut to woman with massive stitched cut on head.)
"Why is this happening? Clunk click. It's simple.
(Jimmy now has a tone of tetchiness in his voice, irritated that people should not have already got the message.)
"Clunk the car door. Click the seat belt. Even if you are just going round the corner. Clunk Click Every Trip."

Viewers today might think of two points in particular: what other reasons might women be driving, apart from going to shops, collecting the kids or going to the laundrette? And what other reasons might women want to avoid going through windscreens, apart from damaging their looks?"

They might break a nail as well?

When I say "clunk click, every trip" to my kids they just look at me like I've lost the plot.
