I must remember the 1990s remake then. I wasn't born in the 70s.

This was an iconic ad campaign in America in 1984. Clara Peller became famous for her phrase.

Didn`t Elvis Costello write the jingle for the R Whites advert and it was his dad in it or something like that anyway ?

Oh, and I remember it and it was the 70's. I think the smash advert crossed over between both decades

His Dad wrote and sang the jingle and Elvis Costello did the backing vocals

Smash was about 1975 and ran into the 80's, I remember the original 1975 advert

This bloke round our way used to walk like Mr Soft - he seemed a real twat, early 30's with mullet and oxblood leather jacket. Us, being a gang of early-teen scrotey shitheads, would sing that song to him and shout 'Watch that lamppost, Mr Soft', then leg it.

Gasman was telling me the other day that as well as not turning light switches on, you also shouldn't turn them off. That was new to me. Interesting to see the ad says don't use switches at all.

Does anyone remember the Insignia ad that used "It's all over now" by the Rolling Stones? Just popped into my head while doing my morning smellie ritual. Sadly, I still remember the lyrics

Insignia's got everything
Shampoo and Shower Gel
Deoderant and aftershave, for one all-over smell
And it new Insignia
and it's all over now.

I remember as a spotty 17-year-old getting the full Insignia set. I can still smell it now. The smell of an 80's teenager needed a government health warning

That may have been another one mate. The one I'm on about has our freshly doused Insignia yuppie strutting across an office. Lots of luverly gurls let their flowing hair hang loose, in awe of this magnificent beautiful smelling specimen (this was the 80's remember, god bless them)

haha. I often go to the kitchen just before bed and have a little nibble of ham, cheese, or whatever is knocking about.

When I hop into bed, my missus always says, "Have you been on the R Whites lemonade again?"

Do you just take a bite out of a block of cheese or do you go all middle class and slice some off with a knife?

Don't have blocks much anymore, buy it grated from the ASDA. I sprinkle a bit on some cracker bread. Missus moans like fuck coz there's cheese and crumbs all over the floor from kitchen to bedroom

You've just reminded me about a bloke I worked with about 15-20 years ago. He used to sit at his desk taking bites out of a fuck-off 2lb block of Cheddar.

I got news on Facebook from his sister that he had died the other week. He was a strange bloke but a good lad.
