Good ad, but not as good as the original with the three buttery chaps who emerge from the packet singing a catchy little ditty...

Ooooooh...we are the lads from the Country Life
And you never put a better bit of butter on your knife
if you haven't any iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin...
...have a word with the wife and spread it on your toast in the moooooooooo-rning.

Not sure why I can remember this 30 years after the fact but can't remember the names of half the people I work with.

Oh for f'uck sake...

I must say I did enjoy his series about bugs.

Because the ad worked?

I remember the same one. As well as 'You do the shake and vac and put the freshness back', that one 'Will it be mushrooms? Fried onion rings? We'll have to wait and see' and myriad others.

All takes up valuable brain cells I'm afraid. And I haven't many good ones left

Edit to add: 'Mother likes a nice cod piece, that doesn't swim in grease'

When you come to the end of a SuperMousse
To the end of a BirdsEye SuperMousse
When you come to the end of a SuperMousse
Plop goes your heart.

I'll never forget the year we won the turkey in the Christmas raffle - it was July before we had to feed the cat again...

I wish I was in Greenall Whitley land
Where beer is cool, and hearts so warm
The girls I gathered round
Perhaps they're missing me like I'm missing them
The games, the songs, the laughs, the games we used to play
But most of all, Greenall Whitley most of all...

...misses your mouth and makes a mess on the floor.

Just one Cornetto
Give it to me
You must be joking
Not for 50p

(oh what untrammelled wits we were in our formative years.)

i can eat one without making a mess

I wish I was in Greenall Whitley land...

Which reminds me:

I mecht gern a Grunhalle, Grunhalle, Grunhalle
I mecht gern a Grunhalle, Grunhalle brau

(Apologies if the spelling is atrocious, but Grunhalle wasn't a genuine mainland European beer, it was Greenall's faux-European lager brand back in the late 80s)

...hey, Snerg - why aren't you singing our drinking song?

Cuz I don't know the words.

What was the beer that was advertised by a big bear in a yellow t-shirt? Hoffbrau?

[emilystrange]

Ah, Hofmeister



Not to be confused with The Hoffmeister, of course...

[emilystrange]
