    The phrases"Like sitting on a razor blade"; from the Yellow Pages and "You've got an ology, you're a scientist" from British Telecom have been rattling around my brain since the eighties and I'll be 50 in June 2022. Also the expression on the Grandson's face when he thinks that only passing pottery and Sociology isn't that bad is priceless. I always thought that the ad where the old gardener thought that his boss was going to "let him go" and then getting a ride on mower was sweet.Always knew that the actor who played the father buying his son a bike also played Kevin Webster's Dad in Coronation Street. Also interesting to see Bill Teacher(Arthur Fowler in EastEnders) in the Colgate and. It's kinda sad to see that services such as Yellow Pages and reserving something by phone are things of the past because of the Internet.

    Wow thanks for these Steve, honestly. I could watch over and over and over and still feel the same nostalgic sentiment. I've seen practically all of them on your channel now and each time I'm catapulted to a specific time, place, age and sometimes get choked up because they remind me of times long gone, back when I was an imaginative, happy and optimistic boy, and of course with those who are no longer alive. Most of these adverts were works of art, especially the Yellow Pages. It says a lot about the writing and productions back then, when so many slogans made their way into our own English vocabulary and still used 30 or even 40 years later with the same jingle. That said, it also reminds me how bloody good us kids had it back then! Our parents though, probably not so much. All gone down the toilet in comparison to today eh?

    Wow! What a great blast from the past, absolutely brilliant. Thoroughly enjoyed seeing these again, it's really made my day 😄. When bars of chocolate were bigger and actually had more than a scraping of chocolate on, when starburst were properly called opal fruits and had the lime one, when spangles and trio were around. I'm in my early fifties and was a teenager then. Great music, fashion, adverts and decent telly programmes. Thanks so much for the nostalgia

      Ha ha I usually say “ That’s a funny name June-dad” probably Emily June-dad. Trying to make kicking the bucket sound great the number of smiley happy people talking about funerals 😂. Another advert type that annoys me is the ads about equity “release”. “My home helped pay for it”. They are crafty. The word “release” sounds like the money is trapped and needs released. “It’s a loan!, one that’ll cost you your house when you’re gaga or you have kicked the bucket” is what I shout at the telly lol. The houses will be worth a lot more by the time it’s to be paid back too. Very crafty con-job indeed!
