      The majority of modern ads have no relationship to the product they represent. They will be pushing some sort of political message instead.

    I remember back then the "One Day Capital Card" (or Travelcard as it's known now) cost just £1.10 for Adults and 90p for Children, all of London, which means it really has gone up faster than the rate of inflation.

    Most products in these ads where made in the UK - then China happened and the EU was exploited for cheap labour. Cadbury was sold to a multinational food corp. and shipped to Poland, its just cheap and nasty now. Folks, buy local, buy British - it will really help. Boycott foreign products where you can. We can make anything, sure it may cost a bit more but will do so much for our nation. We also need to grow more fruit and vegetables. Fucking new Zealand apples we have here wtf - we can easily grow our own apple orchards right here.

    Its amazing watching this wonderful collection of 1980s adverts in 2022. One is struck by just *how white* (& heterosexual!) these adverts are! All the voices have 'easy-on-ear' indigenous British accents. (not a foreign sounding lilt or argot in sight or sound!) The pace of these is gentler. What a contrast to today's over aggressive, over cosmopolitan, multi culti, aggressive ghettoised drose we now have to endure!

I worry about where *our* once *GREAT* and *CIVILISED* country and society are now headed. Watching British TV now is like being in Nigeria or some other third world country or a ghetto rather than Britain. Sad. That's why I love watching these old clips preserved on UA-cam. It gives me comfort, solace and a much-deserved escape form this crazy ghettoised world which is now being hoisted upon us indigenous.

      It's more complicated than that. Most adverts were voiced in deep RP accents by a small entourage of people, I think Hywel Bennett did the most.
      Companies and marketeers in the 80s believed am RP accent gave more gravitas and substance to a product, but this viewpoint changed leading into better connection with the consumers lifestyle so you'll find through the 90s accents became regionalised and the voices younger, this fitted a new generation of kids having TVs in their bedrooms to sell too.
      Just saying it's to do with immigration is a very basic argument that doesn't explore the changes in society in general at the time.
      I was 10 in 1987 and no one in my class had their own TV in their bedroom.
      Curry's brought out a cheap brand of TV called Matsui / Saisho and made second TV ownership a real thing when most houses just had one. By 1990 suddenly all my friends had second TVs. Overnight advertisers started to direct ads to niche sections of a family instead of aiming at the big box in the living room.
