    In these modern times to avoid the inane crap that are TV Adverts we scroll through them on 30 and get rid asap.
    This got me and her indoors thinking yesterday and our thoughts went back to the 50-60s.
    Anyone remember Owen Brannigan waxing lyrically about Newcastle Brown Ale, or a Mackeson ad that had bottles of beer as jockeys trying to win the race and Mackeson coming out first.
    The Battery advert.. " I told him Oldham", with the battery arriving in a train at Aberdeen.
    The Cinzano advert with Leonard Rossiter and Joan Collins.
    The Milky Bar Kid...there's loads anybody else that can cast their minds back to those halcyon days of Television.

    I once worked with a guy who'd been the Milky Bar Kid when he was a child. probably not the one that I remember from my youth though. I guess ther's been quite a few of them.

    He waits. It's what he does. Tick follows tock follows tick follows tock. Ahab says I don't care who you are, here's to your dream. The old sailors returned to the bar. Here's to you Ahab. And the fat drummer hit the beat with all his heart.

    It's amazing how quickly we've gone from inventive funny adverts to bland boring 'for God's sake don't put anything in it that can be twisted into offense' adverts.

    The last Peter Kay John Smith's advert was 2010. I've got underpants older than that.

    Ffs I read your post wrong, I've spent the last half an hour searching old Nutella adverts trying to find a glimpse of a nipple. Like you mate, haven't got a clue what they look like anymore never mind what they'd feel like
