I add, either in my head or out loud (like just now) "persil grips the grease so it can't get back on the plate".
DD has told me I'm odd.

I don't remember yours Stealth. I just can't stop myself whooping "Thank Crunchie it's Friday!!!!" normally in earshot of the DDs' friends when they call to walk to school. I'm sure they're thinking Confused WTF?? inside but I'm just so glad to get to the end of the fecking working week.

And "Don't call me Shirley," is an eternal classic.

University Challenge - I always expect the announcer to say 'asking the question ..... Bamber Gasgoigne'!!

And tasty - they're tasty, tasty, very very tasty - Kellogg's Fruit and Bran Flakes I think!

When I serve family a pudding and they ask if I made it I always say "yish ne da" after the June Whitfield advert where she tries to pass off a shop bought pud for her own. I am old too.

Whenever someone says 'fade away' all I can think about is 'Re-record not fade away' and that bloody skeleton.

I think I remember the washing up advert Stealth - wasn't it someone showing someone else how to do the washing up and once they'd demonstrated washing one plate they said 'see?' and the other person said 'no' even though they understood fully they just knew that the longer the first person carried on the demonstration the less there'd be for them to do.

My parents and I still mimic it when one of is showing another something: 'see?' 'no'!

StealthPolarBear · 24/12/2018 14:39

Ooh that does sound familiar. Weren't the fairy adverts really long tables outside with white tablecloths, and even longer ones for the fairly liquid

Adverts are a bit too strange sometimes. The strangest thing I’ve ever seen on a TV advert is red bull gives you wings. How can a energy drink give you a pair of wings? That was and still is the strangest advert I’ve seen on the television ever.

my head too!)

StealthPolarBear · 24/12/2018 17:54

No I'm sorry there was a definite "grips the grease"

"Language, Timothy!" comes from a sitcom with Ronnie Corbet (I think) as the much-put-upon adult son living at home with his overbearing mother.
