“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams....
Yep! Miss the record section! Mine was the on-contract cleaning firm at Woolies Hereford in 08 when they closed all the stores down that Christmas. Bloody heartbreaking!!!
Memories of '78...? Ok, here's 5. One of the best years ever in the charts. Grease at cinema, Starsky and Hutch on TV. World Cup' 78, from Argentina. Visiting the old Wembley stadium with my Dad, for the League Cup final. Best day out EVER. First ever brand new bike that Christmas... Bloody marvellous!!!
I remember the milk ads, i got milk, i got life, would be good right now to go back to the 70s, but wonderful to watch these ads on here, for a few mins life seems ok again.
6:36 blacked up, imagine doing that today on air ?? Black n white Minstrels got away with it in the 70s, Love thy Neighbour etc, no re-makes on the horizon lol
Blue Stratos...,amazing what you forget including Hannah Gordon advertising a 'healthy' cereal. Glad someone else remembers with affection the hilarious the Stanley Baxter spoof of 'is she, isn't she? In his TV show. Ah Frankie Howard advertising cigars!
Linda Woods *no it wasn’t, but simpletons always like to believe the “good old days” were ‘good’* remember these were the days that is was legal for a man to rape his wife as he was her husband and considered to ‘own’ his wife! Jimmy Saville, Gary Glitter, racism, even the fucking birds eye ad with a man ‘blacking up’ was considered ok!
I remember green shield stamps You used to have to fill books of them for stuff in the catalogue. That has become Argos now recently taken over by Sainsbury's
Do they still advertise newspapers on TV? I'm afraid I've fast-forwarded ads for years. Nothing compares to these from the 60s / 70s. I can't recall Blue Stratos but then it was one of many ads for men's aftershave. Will always remember the lovely Hannah Gordon from 'My Wife Next Door' with John Alderton, oddly never repeated. I recall the Band of the Black Watch's 'Scotch on the Rocks' single was a big hit. The delicious Madeline Smith with Frankie Howard - I know who I prefer! Stanley Baxter is forgettable but the next ad is 'classy'. Great song too. Leaves you guessing till the end. Not seen this one before. Anyone knows who sings it? Kenny Everett again on the Wollies ad.
"Made with at least 80% beef" Hahaha, love it. Enjoy your horse and "mixed meat product", I'm so happy I was vegetarian all through the 70's and 80's. xD
Never been a fan of Branston Pickle. I'd winkle my knife around to get the sauce but leave the chunks behind. Eventually, all that was left were carrots at the bottom of the jar.
I’m all for the old days were great (I was an 80’s-90’s kid) but do you reckon it maybe because as a child everything is amazing and less complicated???? Just a thought.
Same, 80s baby 90s child/teenager. I really do miss those beautiful simple days. Warm sunshine in summer was just great. Sometimes I do wonder how the same timeline would've been like living as an adult.
1:27 Not so bloody loud! 2:45 I bet that Hannah Gordon purchased those Protein Whispflakes from Safeway. 3:18 I thought that VO5 was only launched in the 1980s - I was obviously wrong. 4:22 Aspel looks great in those suits! 5:15 I would go to a pub for Scotch on the Rocks rather than Debenhams, Boots or Rumbelows. 7:39 Normally, if you've got life, you have porridge rather than milk.
Berighteous:... I do! I worked in that industry for a bit! Nothing controversial, nothing for the conspiracy theorists to go to the trouble of taking their dicks out of their hands, or their heads from up their arses for, I'll bore you with the list of ingredients if y'like.. !
These adverts were just 40-45 years ago. Imagine if you'd shown someone, in 1976, what Britain would look like in 2018... They wouldn't have believed their own eyes. Well buckle up, because the next 40 years are going to see some far more radical changes. It's probably too late to do anything but there's just a small - very small - chance that something can be done to save England. I'm not holding my breath, however.
I know it's only a glimmer of hope, but yes, if we can get all the backward thinking, EU hating, racist scumbags to clear off or just hide away and die somewhere, there is a chance England can be saved, but I'm not holding my breath either. England has been taken over by right wing nationalists, and yes the place is completely ruined because of it......
Tbh I don't know how everyone lived without the internet. Did you have phones then? Why did you have adverts for milk? I am only 12 so I really don't know
We lived much happier lives without the internet " in the old days". The Internet has been a disaster. It's facilitating discord, dissociation and dissent (and and will ultimately engender war). If the internet and all personal computers were to disappear, people would be healthier and happier. Yes, the 'net is convenient and amusing but the bad greatly outweighs the good. I use smartphones and PCs extensively but I'd be willing to see them all thrown on a fire, in a heartbeat, if everyone else would.
@@TheRowlandstone73:... no its not, it's the voice of a very widely used voiceover actor from the 70s, whose name, unfortunately, escapes me. But it's not Michael Aspel.
I'm guessing by The Deep advert, that these ads are from around 1976. If so that would mean the £50 suits shown here 4:20 would cost over £350 today! :-/
I'm not the youngest of Brits out there, but I'm stumped at not knowing many of these brands! And there used to be such a thing as "British cigars" as well?!? :-) That said: Trying to attract customers with tiny discounts like that^ might explain why Woolworths went bankrupt a few years back... :-p (^ - Yes, I know 35p back then would equate to about £2.50 today. :-)
+Nick Andrew Don't worry, we'll get *real* singers back again after March! Come that time, any AutoTune gear left in the country'll be rapidly requisitioned for the War Effort!^ (^ - Or: "How the heck do we make the Pound worth more than €0,75 again?" ;-)
Ushoys:... tricky! On one hand, if you're complaining simply because you live in Britain, then bugger off somewhere you'd prefer! If, however, what you mean - because you don't actually say! Is that you're sick of, say: the pc bullshit, lousy politicians, scrounging immigrants, kids with overactive self-entitlement, and no bloody respect, druggies, snowflakes, soyboys, lefty-libs, sjws, modern feminists, "gender-fluids" etc etc... I couldn't agree more!!!
@@michaelrawson6261 nailed it Michael, nothing badly wrong with this country, or it’s indigenous people, and integrated people from outside, it’s the crap that a small minority of haters and stirrers try to foist on us. They are welcome and free to leave if they don’t like GB or us.
WoW!! That was an incredible high dive from that cliff .. must have been at least 100ft!! I guess he got his milk ..! 😁😊 And can you imagine outrage nowadays if a white man browns up & does an Indian accent?! And I speak as a non white!
