Following on from my other thread about shops that have gone from the high street, any brands you remember that have disappeared?.

Ill start you off with PYE televisions which my gran used to have. Far as i know they no longer exist.

Rediffusion TVs have also disappeared.

But then most television manufacturers that aren't Japanese have disappeared. Samsung have bucked the trend by appearing.

Does anyone remember a soft drink called tab?. I think it was something to do with coca cola and was around in early 90's. I can't remember seeing it for a while.

Just remembered Hofmeister lager. I was too young to drink it at the time, but remember the advert, with the catchphrase - follow the bear.
