Old British Adverts
Who else still remembers old TV ads from Britain and finds that they get extra homesick if they see these ads or even think about them?
I don't really know if this is 'normal' but I remember many old ads from as long ago as the late 70s, when I was only a few years old!
The very oldest one would be one for McDonalds, which I have never forgotten, and I must admit I always thought perhaps I have made it up, or at least forgotten much of the detail and maybe substituted it with my own words or something.
Anyway thanks to the wonders of youtube and other internet sources, I now have copies of many of the old ads I remember on my computer and I find it very enjoyable to sit and watch them!
The McDonalds ad I'm referring to was from 1977, when I was only 3, yet I have never forgotten it!
I should point out that the words I quote from all the following ads are from my own childhood memory and most are from the early - mid 1980s, so some of the words may not necessarily be quite 100% perfect, but I think they're amazingly close given how long ago it was and how young I was!
It scares me sometimes that I remember this sort of stuff, but having said that I'm glad I do in a way!
"(Voiceover)Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls,
Introducing Ronald McDonald!
(Jingle) It's Ronald McDonald, he's everyones favourite clown,
and he believes that what goes up,
always must come down.
(music)
Now somebody's making a monkey out of him,
in a game of hide and seek!
(sounds)
That's the difference at McDonalds you'll enjoy!"

Re: Old British Adverts
There were also some very bizarre government adverts (or Public Information Films as they're officially known) in the 70s and 80s, such as:
- "If you see or hear something suspicious
Something the police should know about,
NEVER be afraid to call us.
We won't mind if you've made a mistake!
If you're suspicious, call the police.
Don't wait till it's too late!" (Police)
- "Get out. Get us out, and STAY out!" (Greater Manchester Fire Service)
- "You think it's safe, but what you don't see, is what's just around the corner.
Even if you're in a hurry, Never, ever run!" (Not running)
This is not the actual PIF, but appears to be a spoof of it!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxy9-kBjX2Y
- "One of the 12 water and sewerage companies in England and Wales, is North West Water" (talk about short and to the point. They didn't even bother trying to make out they were good!) (North West Water)
- "For all your creature comforts, dishwash electric" (Is there another type of dishwasher?)
- "If you see or hear something suspicious
Something the police should know about,
NEVER be afraid to call us.
We won't mind if you've made a mistake!
If you're suspicious, call the police.
Don't wait till it's too late!" (Police)
