Re: Guess the commercial
 

Here's one. Guy driving along all dressed up in his posh car. As he passes a well positioned car, which is about to turn right and is waiting for the traffic to clear, he notices the young lady driving it, the 'in his head' voiceover comes on and says:

"Good driver that girl, attractive too; such old world charm."

OK so it was an advert to promote good driving habits around the late fifties. What had happened previous to the narration?

Re: Guess the commercial
 

Hello! I hope you don't mind me joining in after all this time but your question caught my eye.

Years ago, in order to compliment my mother (and yet tease her at the same time), after eating a meal which she had prepared, he would frequently exclaim, "Delicious!" and then add ".....and only a shilling a tin!"

This is a reference to an old commercial

.....for John West Norway Sild!

With best regards,
