JohnW, I have a friend that lives there, UNHAPPYONE. Met him through my music room on Paltalk. He told me this is a fun place to spend time, and that it didn't matter that I wasn't from there. Hope this is ok.

Re: Guess the commercial
 

Hey JFK, absolutely OK, I wasn't trying to infer anything to the contrary. Aren't East Lancashire folk, just the friendliest of people?

Re: Guess the commercial

Re: Guess the commercial
 

You watch too many adverts !!!

Re: Guess the commercial
 

Actually I rarely watch TV. :) Love quizzes though.

Re: Guess the commercial
 

This little rhyme was voiced over a scene of a schoolgirl eating the advertised product. What was it? (I think the voiceover was by the guy who used to be on That's Life, what was his name, always reciting his "odd odes?") Cyril somebody?

There was a young girl of Southend,
Who had only 'tuppence' to spend,
So what could be nicer,
Than a ---------'s ------,
Ice cream with a lolly each end.

Re: Guess the commercial
 

Pendleton's Twicer

You're thinking of Cyril Fletcher

Re: Guess the commercial
 

Right again Willow. Your turn to pose one. Yes, good old Cyril Fletcher, I used to like his odd odes. Is he still around?

Re: Guess the commercial

Re: Guess the commercial
 

Thought I'd revive this as well, here's another jingle:


A ------ -- ----- is just enough to give your kids a treat,

A ------ -- ----- is just enough until it's time to eat,

It's full of ------- goodness,it's very small and neat,

A ------ -- ----- is just enough to give your kids a treat.

Re: Guess the commercial
 

a finger of Fudge
Cadbury goodness

Re: Guess the commercial
 

Ah, you're too fast and too good for me Willow.

Re: Guess the commercial
 

. :)

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,

Nigel
