It's time to reminisce...

I had a soft spot at Xmas every year for the Woolworths TV adverts that went on for an eternity "have a cracking Christmas"..

Also, recall watching "Stop, look and listen" at school which was always proceeded by a countdown clock.

Any other TV gems we may have forgotten?

There is a DVD called "Charlie Says" on the Network label, which features all of the videos of that boy and his cat and the rest of the public information series, from 1950 something to 1990 something else.

An absolute classic. (Worst of all are the ads by...here comes the scary bit children...Rolf Harris, in that swimming pool and Jimmy Saville and his clunk-clicking every trip, samashing fellow). Where were the warnings to stay away from TV and Radio presenters? I ask you!

With other personalities like Petunia, Tufty, Ken Dodd, Dave Prowse/Green Cross Code man, Kevin Keegan to name a few they really need to bring out ads again like this for the poor little snowflake generation.

Examples that need to be done are: put your phone down when crossing the road: don't tell the whole world what you got for Xmas and are going away for NYE, then post it on TwitterBook unless you want burglars to visit: the shelves in TK Maxx are not litter bins, Keep Britain's stores tidy.

I love ads me. If you work in the ad trade PM me, I want to get paid for this kinda stuff. I've got my serving suggestions out on Pinterest.

Don't have nightmares kids.

From my favourite PIF:

Sir Isaac Newton told us why an apple falls down from the sky

And from this fact, it's very plain, all other objects do the same

A brick, a bolt, a bar, a cup, invariably fall down, not up

And every common working tool is governed by the self-same rule

So when you handle tools up there, let your watchword be "Take Care"

If at work, you drop a spanner, it travels in a downward manner

At work, a fifth of accidents or more, illustrate old Newton's law

But one thing he forgot to add, the damage won't be half as bad;

if you are wearing proper clothes, especially on your head and toes

These hats and shoes are there to save the wearer from an early grave

So best feet forward and take care about the kind of shoes you wear

It's better to be sure, than dead, so get a hat and keep your head

Don't think to go without is brave; the effects of gravity can be grave.

"Am I secret lemonade drinker

Bet elvis costello remembers that..

It was "I'm a secret lemonade drinker" for R Whites lemonade, though I don't get why Elvis Costello would remember it,

It was his dad doing the singing on the ad.

"Please tell me someone remembers Dick Turpin with Richard O'Sullivan. And Tuckers Luck, a Grange Hill spin off with Todd Carty.

And Paul Hogan's Fosters ads still make me laugh. "

I remember Dick Turpin. It was never repeated, neither was Sapphire and Steel.
