OK Peeps, it's been years since I've lived in the UK, but still, every now and again I wake up with this song in my head It goes something like this:

"I could do without Monday mornings, getting out of bed, stretching and a yawning, I could do with a 'D'

Amongst the lyrics are the following:

"I could do without the British weather, half way home at the end of my tether, both of my feet are killing me! I could do with a 'D'!!!

The lyrics belong to a commercial I think!

PULEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE, can somebody tell me, what the F@#k is a 'D'.

I think it's some kinda tea.

Thank y'all for helping if you can coz it's durivvvvvvvvvvvvvving me crazy:curse:

"D" is a brand of Tea that Brooke Bond used to market (I believe the brand is now PG Tips).
This should jog your memory:

oh gawd I remember that, had cartoony knives and forks stabbing her in the feet through her slippers, I seem to remember is was for tea.
Google here I come

Found it.

OMG!!!!!!!!!! THAT'S IT!! My dear son (who is too young to remember) would love to see this coz I'm always telling him that's how I feel - puleeeeeze forgive me ignornace here, but do I just send him the http addy you've included? Thanks.

lol i haven't seen that for 20 years and still know all the words, and when the little cartoon saw goes on her feet. Who says advertising doesn't work eh

Wow! A blast from the 80s!

You mean it hasn't always been called PG Tips? (American here)

Yes it has always be PG Tips - this was Brooke Bond Special D if memory serves?

^^^ above post my fault - didn't know my wife was automatically logged in!

Yes! Big green box with a big yellow "D" on it sums up my tea-drinking during my formative years.

It is funny how these ad jingles stick in your brain, especially if you were a kid at the time. I can still remember word-for-word the Dairylea advert with all the kids in a cow shed ("Have you ever wondered how you get triangles from a cow?"), or Frankie Howerd saying "you only get an OOh with Typhoo" (can you still get Typhoo?) They certainly don't make 'em like they used to!

well I've now got this jingle well and truly lodged in MY head.

ta very much

Well it's got to be better than Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce, special orders don't upset us.........

I remember that ad too.

Wasn't that at about the same time as someone brought out instant tea (like Nescafe for tea)? It didn't take off...

another annoyingly catchy one from about the same era:

Wasn't the same when they changed it to "Kelloggs Kelloggs Kellogs Make 'em tasty"

A D is Typhoo tea.

I think.

I saw some today in my local shop.
