Maureen…OH she’s cheap!

Autoglass repair, auto glass replace

I love carpets me!

A finger of fudge is just enough to give your kids for tea (😬)

‘…a treat’ actually.

That jingle was written by the bloke who wrote Handbags and Gladrags and Build Me Up Buttercup.

You buy one, you get one free
I say you buy one, you get one free

5,4,3,2,1. 54321
Crispy milk chocolate 54321

Get stuffed, get stuffed, get stuffed yeah (some weird late night cooking show for drunk people)

The water in Majorca don't taste like what it oughta

Oh and

"Pasta, What's pasta" from a pasta advert but can't remember what brand. Say it to DD whenever I serve pasta 😂

Also still say "come Saturday, I'll be on the other side" (Nat West)

Allen's taxis 555-555, you dial we'll drive

The song is called ‘Little Plum’ by Darryl Way:

Radio/TV advert for me at this time of year:

“There’s a magical place, we’re on our way there,
with toys in their millions, all under one roof...”

If you need a skip fast
Here's the answer at last
White Away Skip Hire
Has the skip you desire
Call Stoke Ferry 500 212
Because we don't talk rubbish
We move it for you

This was from local radio about 30 years ago 😃

'Selling a house, doesn't have to be difficult
Allen and Harris - remember the name'

'It's got a steering wheel and a sun-rowf!'

'Rockley Park - it's bigger and brighter
Come and join us if you can
And you'll have the perfect holiday
At the new look Rockley Park'

(Not an advert as such but an anti-drugs campaign)

'I woke up one morning and mum was calling me. And I just lay there, feeling like death. That's when I first knew.'

This! Our local Mortgage Point had a different number, ours was 7459494.

@bevelino I sung that in my head as soon as I read it!

Don Amott caravan advert on local radio in the 90s

Toast a tasty toastabag, easy to clean with no mess at lunch!

Sheila's wheels

@TheNestedIf oh my goodness!! My dad and I heard that once and thought it was hilarious and then never heard it again, I wonder if we were driving somewhere that wasn't local to us? I'm going to send it him now.

Also it's definitely Allen's Taxi's for me as posted by a PP and "People Express, People Express driving through the town" (totally giving away my location for anyone who lives near me)

There’s one from a John Smiths beer campaign that haunts me. It was BA Robertson doing the voice over, and it was pretty dodgy on a few levels.

I once met a girl by the name of Lulu
Moved like a Zulu on a hot tin plate (😮)
She seemed quite keen and danced like a dream
But nothing comes between me and my mate
For a great little mover that goes down smoother
Go and see your mate called Smith.

And I’m being absolutely tortured by an advert earworm thanks to this thread!!

I can remember the tune but not what it was advertising, and I have no way of conveying the music on here to get help!

argh

TeaPleaseBob I remember 'Don Amott King of Caravans' with a slow tribal drum beat and sung by men with very low voices but my one is from the 70s I think.

How about 'Phone Cradley Heath 651 double 1 NOW' this was said repeatedly throughout the advert by a woman with a big emphasis on 'Now'. So repeatedly I can remember the telephone number 40-odd years later. Brains a funny thing.

Ooh and 'Birds Eye Peas, fresh as the moment when the Pod went POP!' Cue Patsy Kensit doing that thing with your finger when you put it in your closed mouth and flick it out so it makes a popping sound - God that was difficult to describe 😆

Oh just realised this was radio jingles... I'll get me coat.

Nolan skips jingle and 'Tell em Trevor sent ew' from the trade centre Wales both from Bridge FM.

KiteKat...... That'sLivin' 😂

My 10 year old always sings the Selco one. Selco, it's where the trade go!

Same!

Coldseal, hear their name everywhere
Coldseal, first for customer care
Every year they come back to check & clean your windows
Coldseal Windows, the company that everyone knooooows

Sung in a slightly dubious Jamaican accent, can hear the tune now 😁

Oo -ooh vitalite.
Treeee-o Treee-eee-i-oooo

1980s Leeds:

kerching a work
kerching a shops
kerching a cheaper
kerching a saverstrip!
