Which old adverts do you remember? UK

[Squashinthepinkcup]

Wondering if it's just me who has a brain that retains truly useless information like jingles and entire scripts to adverts from yonks ago

For me its

• 122 years of hovis
• legit every word to the cheer up ever green frog singing to the tune of daydream believer
• accrington stanley milk
• the entire poem from Comfort Vaporesse
• orange Wednesdays.... 'baby, we should go every Wednesday!'

Honestly would be way better if I could switch some memory cells for something actually useful 😂

Anyone else?!

I remember the words -
I hope you don’t mind me dropping by
its been so many years
i recall the day I left
I kissed away your tears
You got married, you had kids
I travelled half the world
and here you are a woman
but I still see the girl.

It was from a coffee advertisement I think. I can’t remember which.

Whilst I don’t remember the words I so much wanted the huge cuddly chair in the Lemsip advertisement.

Never seen the advert as it was Granada but my husband has just told me that you called Eileen Bilton for grants for businesses etc - warrington, the country's most central location.

Have a diamond ring or a drill"
