the window to watch.
Can't even remember the programme I was watching on Sunday evening but in the background on the street corner was a John Collier shop. That natty catch line immediately comes to mind, and I could here it emanating from the telly. Then got to thinking, apart from "The Milky Bars Are On Me" any other notable tag lines spring to mind from that era.

"Hope it's chips, it's chips..... We all hope it's chips, it's chips......"
I'm sure we all know the song but, ironically, the advert wasn't for chips. It was for Birds Eye Steak House Grills, and the song was merely about what might be served with them.

Happiness is a cigar called Hamlet The times that went through my head when I was flailing away in a bunker on a golf course somewhere, gradually removing all the sand whilst the ball stayed exactly where it was

Just as the Cyril thing became a song for, as I remember and can’t be arsed to look up, The Cock-er-al Chorus Lorraine Chase’s “Were you reallly wafted here from paradise” gave us this long overlooked beauty.

I always liked the Charlie the cat public info films
'And when we had asked her and she said yes, the others had gone.....(dramatic music)'

All because the lady loves milk tray Very famous advert featuring "the man in black". No one could understand why he went through a number of hazards to reach the girl who was the recipient of the gift, and when he got there, all he gave her was a box of chocolates!
