I remember it as 0891 50! 50! 50! - 0891 was a premium rate number!

For those of a Medway towns persuasion - Hempstead Valley, shopping centre, so much to see there, more for yooooou!

That's right!

So epically random that I think I could have dreamt it. It was maybe 20 + years ago that either radio 1or 2 used to play this ad/ jingle for Hobart, Tasmania. It sounded like it was from the 1950's and was advising for what a wonderful town it was.
It was probably some sort of skit that went over my head, but it I still remember it 🤔.

I remember "Hobart has radio 7HO"

Lucozade, refreshes you through
the ups and downs of the daaay.

I’m gonna shake you

Sheffield!

Yesss!! 😄 Heard it every time I got in the car! 😆

LadyIckenham · 21/11/2022 03:08

No mention for 'Oooooh, Gary Davies', yet?

I was surprised to find him still on the radio the other day. Mentioned it to my sister and we both still refer to him as 'oooh Gary Davies'.

LadyIckenham · 21/11/2022 03:09

Oh, and does anyone in the NE remember the song for Alan Robson, 'The Flashing Blade' on Metro?

TheNestedIf · 21/11/2022 03:35

Glevum Windows - Three Little Piggies. I think it was only local to West Country stations.

TheNestedIf · 21/11/2022 03:37

Whoops. Wrong link. We were more rural than that.

This is the captain of your ship... calling,

Have you been Tango'd

John Smiths advert with Jack Dee and dancing penguins.

"De-de-Dixons" (worst use of a sampler ever) 😄

"Me ears are alight"/"She was yards too greasy" (Vitalite)

"Wazzzuuuuppp" (can't remember what they were advertising, though. Pizza?)

An incredibly random one, but in the 80's Yorkshire Television used to have a Christmas helpline to help you sort out festive emergencies. I can remember the whole jingle including the phone number "ring ytv's Christmas line on Leeds 448199" to a jaunty tune. I also remember the Um Bongo jingle and the Birds Eye potato waffles jingle.

Oh my gosh! That's the exact advert I thought of when I read the thread title. I wonder to this day what would happen if you call that number...
Also the car dealership on Witham Road in Hull ran genius adverts on Radio Humberside. I'm sure there was a "My Ol' Man's a Dustman" one.

Then there's Mister Soft (oh can you tell me why the world in which you're living is so soft and rearranged?)

So many good memories my kids miss out on by only watching tv on demand with no ads

When you come to the end of a supermousse,
A birds eye supermousse,
When you come to the end of a supermousse,
Plop goes your heart.

They were frozen mousses in plastic pots, from the late 70s/early 80s!!!

Only the crumbliest, flakiest chocolate
tastes like chocolate never tasted before.

🎶 Buy a bike!
Buy a bike!
Get down to Charnock Richard Cycles 🎶

CRC is a place not a person and I did indeed purchase a bicycle from them, about 30 years ago. I don't know whether the shop is still trading as I relocated.

If you see Sid, tell him.

I’ve got a brand new combine harvester.. slowed down to reveal the hidden message… “buy tab clear. Buy tab clear.”

Anyone from Essex? 😂

The red car and the blue car had a race

Washing machines live longer with Calgon

Feed me. Feed me now!!

Daddy or chips? Chips!

Any drink can quench a thirst but only one can quosh it

Trio. Triiiiiiiiooooooooo!!!

It's the red car and the blue car for me too, though I remember a lot of others mentioned on the thread too.

Oh no! The bridge has gone!
Old red can't carry on!
But smart old blue; he took the milky way!

even my kids know it and they were all born decades after it stopped airing, and milky ways aren't sold where we live! (We have to buy them when we visit) 😳

The finger of fudge is vivid,

and only the crumbliest, flakiest chocolate,

and trio, triiio, chocolatey biscuit and a toffee taste too...

If you like a lot of chocolate on your biscuit, join our club!

We were teens when that one was around and managed to find the club biscuit one snigger worthy 🤣😳

My mother rationed chocolate and sweets very closely indeed, was on a very public perma-diet which she felt her daughters should also commence as puberty loomed and had a horror of fatness... I suspect that's why I mainly remember chocolate and biscuit adverts!

crabsaremisunderstood · 21/11/2022 06:25

I think the Safestyle one was going strong until fairly recently! Or maybe it’s that etched in my memory it rings on subconsciously…
