[@paulkearnsmusic]

My daughter was born, the sun shone forever, I was young and fit my water rates were £7 a year, I drove a Ford Granada Ghia the rent on my 2 bed country cottage was £10 a week and life was good.
Now, we are subjects of constant surveillance, our lives are micro managed and 2 parents working full time can no longer pay the mortgage - let alone anything else. Corruption is the norm, our country is a joke. Anyone who lived through the 70s will tell you, the inflation back then was nothing close to today's.
I'd go back to the 70s in a heartbeat - times WERE better.

[@gaskellr44]

I remember the 70s and 80s tv era but there is still some cracking tv on at the moment, but there has always been rubbish on and it will seem more now as we have an abundance of channels, not only 3 channels, like what we had before late 1982.

[@SBAYLISS]

@@gaskellr44 well you’re absolutely right of course there was rubbish back then and it is easy when looking back over 50 years it’s easy to cherry pick the turning point in tv was as you said around 82 with the massive injection of channels.
It would be interesting if you could give me one programme that you consider cracking at the moment as my world only exists through DVDs and youtube.

[@user-pl6wk3wg6d]

What surfaces when watching these ads from the 1970's is that the Advertising Agency back then put a lot of art and creativity into them: compared to the 'thrash' that now interrupts the 2nd rate TV programmes where degenerate ideas are expounded in offensive scenarios, the ads back then were innocent and family-orientated, more genuine!

[@agfagaevart8655]

no there were not "genuine"

It should come in a block today but we insist on making as many throw away plastic tubs as possible for everything. We continue fucking the planet up more and more and have no intention of sorting the problem out.

[@Juliukas101]

@@mgthestrange9098 Yes, it would be nice. I always remember it being in a tub. It used to be rectangular tub with a clear clip-lid and then it changed to an oval tub with a coloured plastic lid.
I liked that voice-over to the Pure & Simple cream / lotion advert at 12:00. Such a nice, calm, clear diction and pleasant voice.

[@HomerSlated]

I must've really tuned out when the ads came on in the 70s, because I don't remember nearly any of this at all. Brut 55 and Leonard Parkin, but that's about it.
Mind you, I was 10, and back then kids didn't get to stay up late, so I probably only got to see the Curly Wurly and Finger of Fudge ads. Plus Thames was not my region, so maybe the programming and ads were very different where I lived.
I do remember there being a lot of public information ads, Charley says don't play with matches, and HGV drivers in Sheffield, that sort of thing. Really, a LOT of public information ads. Like pretty much every commercial break there was at least one. Seems a bit Soviet Union looking back on it now.
Where's the Old Spice ad? probably the most memorable thing on the telly from the 70s.

[@CaptainSiCo]

"Kraft Philadelphia, pure white creamy tasting cheese. We added nothing, so you can add just what you like". Hmmm, not sure they've added nothing these days; "Full Fat Soft Cheese, Salt, Stabiliser (Guar Gum), Acid (Citric Acid)".

[@Juliukas101]

It looked like it was better back in those days. I like the idea of it being in a block rather than a plastic tub. Philadelphia is still my favourite of all the cream cheeses. Phildelphia, thinly-slice cucumber, olive oil and pick on granary bread is my favourite.

In other words: Mr Goldberg's marketing agencies weren't as brave in introducing the Kalergi plan, yet; due to the strength of the National Front type organisations, as not to 'scare' normies. Now that they know it's too late to do anything about it due to birth rates and the complete ideological subversion through obfuscation and deracination (erasure of history, culture, identity, borders, etc) - They openly promote the erasure of whites. Look at the only adverts showing white couples and white people exclusively: mobility scooters, life insurance, will making services, charity adverts, funeral services. They don't dare have blacks on adverts promoting retirement/illnesses/death. Whites: sure thing.
