    Let's take a trip down memory lane and remember past and present telly adverts. What were your favourites?

    And, as if that wasn't enough, there's a poll so that you can choose your top 3 telly adverts of all time.

    Here's a very old advert that could have been a Harry Enfield sketch:

    I'm a bit like the Milk Tray man.

    I sneak into women's houses.

    And I often leave a treat on the bedsheets.

    I've posted the Limara advert before, I was certain that you could see minge through her nightie.

    Just remembered this one



    "I don't know, it's all covered in mud" in a mock northern accent and "it's a potato!" in a Derek Nimmo sort of voice are still being used by yours truly some 40 years later.

    As is "That's handy Harry, stick it in the oven" whenever something drops from height
