BRUT 'Splash it all over'

1001 cleans a big big carpet, for less than half a crown.. for less than two and six (in a very deep voice) yes, I remember Christine and "In Columbia, South America Juan Bouldez(?) and his son pick coffee beans" and "Sorry, mate, you're too late: the best peas have gone to Birds Eye" and "A lady without her Cutex - Ooh! - isn't dressed" which we mocked as we dressed in the local swimming baths.... remember outdoor swimming pools?

Viv Thats the one I loved "how do yer like yer eggs fried or boiled" then the poor fella goes into dreamland voice over or poached, or scrambled or .............and it went on I thought that was a great ad. Silverkrin shampoo ad with the great music, done by John Barry (I remember that as it was the B side of the Persuaders single). the ad featured a young woman in a boat with that glazing sort of out of focus camera.

Go to work on an egg. Fried or boiled?

The ad for Woolworths record dept with Gillian Taylforth, where she sounded so common-as-muck they had to change her voice...

Katz, It was 'For mash get smash'

This one will show your age if you remember it, "One thousand and one, one thousamd and one, you can clean a big, big carpet for less that half a crown" Christine

Does anyone else remember this one - my sister and I recite it and always get blank looks (think it was Maxwell House):- He - 'This aint the coffee we usually 'ave' She - 'What's wrong with it?' He - 'It tastes - eeeeh, 'orrid!' She - 'It was cheap' He - 'I'm not surprised...' She - 'and it came in a HUGE....' He - 'Huge, how huge?' She - 'It'll last a long time...' (we get strange looks as well as blank ones!!)

What about BEFORE T.V. "We are the Ovaltineys"
