Could this advert be considered topical?

Lipsmacking, thirst quenching, ace tasting, motivating, good buzzing, cool talking, high walking, fast living, ever giving, cool fizzing... Pepsi Nice one, Clay. I don't like the stuff at all, but do like its enemy, Coke, and must have got through gallons of the stuff a few bottles of it in the 1970s, when Bacardi was all the rage. When I was about seven I once ate a load of jam tarts (those giant flat multi-coloured jam ones you got in packs - no idea where I got them from) and had a bottle or two of Pepsi with them. I really stuffed my little self and the result was Never been able to stand the stuff, and even the word 'Pepsi' takes me straight back to those jam tarts and the sudden feeling in the digestive area that 'all was not well'. I once ate a whole 12 pack of Ferrier Rocha and 4 bottles of beer, spent the night puking it all back up haven't touched a ferrier since.

The cinema, granted, but...... Pearl and Dean
Ba da Ba da Ba Da Ba Da Da Da Dah (x2)
Bomp.Usually followed by an advert for the worst Indian restaurant in town. Oh, yes. Pearl and Dean and that cinema interval tune. Brilliant choice. And always an ad for Kia-ora orange squash! Can everyone still remember those huge lightweight curtains that used to swish across the screen at the ABC Cinebowl in Hanley? Interests seem to go round in circles, and I'm sure that if the 10-pin bowling alley was still open there now, plus the cinema, and a big car park nearby (there used to be one behind it) it would be very popular and make a good profit - but they demolished the whole lot, which I can still never believe. Saw loads of films there, including 'Zulu' and 'Jaws' and came out a nervous wreck after both of them. And 'Airplane!' and 'Where Eagles Dare'. Broadsword calling Danny Boy, Broadsword calling Danny Boy!

My last recollection before leaving the area was seeing one of those later dreadful Elvis movies. As a kid I used to go to the ABC club on a Saturday morning and remember seeing African Queen with Humphrey Bogart. My earliest recollection is a school trip to the cinema to see a film of the Queen's coronation. In those days the cinema was dominated by westerns and war movies, John Wayne seemed to be in all of them!!!

Yep, that's the one! Here y'are: Then there was Um bongo, rhymed with something...🤔🙂🍊 You lot are doing it on purpose now, arncha?! You know very well I posted that yesterday as well, Chuff! "Um Bongo, Um Bongo, they drink it in the Congo" That always makes me scream with laughter as it sounds so cringe-ily 'un-PC' now and I'm always waiting for some do-gooder snowflake to pop up, stick their oar in and say "You can't say that" - and if they ever do, I shall say "I just did, because it's true, and they DO drink it in the Congo - have you ever been to the Congo? What's that? No? Well I have, so button it, ducky" and I shall then sweep out with a flourish. That's the way to do it!

Eels and Badgy, our three posts just crossed - (I was replying to Chuff) - and I totally agree with you about that, Eels - hence my reference to (a term I actually hate!) 'un-PC'……. The rhyme still makes me laugh my socks off, though! You can imagine the advertising people sitting in a studio, thinking it up - "What new name for this orange drink sounds hot, sunny and jungly?" "Er - how about Um Bongo??????" "Brilliant!" "Oh, 'ang on a minute - what the bluddy 'ell rhymes with Bongo?" (Deep thinking/whirring sounds…… "A……B…..C……") "Well what about Congo?" "Yeah - fantastic, Derek - we could say they drink it there!"

I know the bowling alley was in operation in 1964 when the Beatles film 'A Hard Day's Night' came out (just G'd it & it was 1964) - so I was assuming the Cinebowl had been built maybe around 1960/61….. about the same time Lewis's store moved from the old arcade and into the new big building (? now Debehhams) and with the giant silver spiky man (which used to frighten us to death when we were little) outside the front of it.

Murph.

Lewis's early 60's. First time I'd ever been on an escalator. And first time I ever met Santa in the Grotto at the top of the building. I got a game of "Blow football." (with straws and stuff)|

In trying to find out about "the bubbles all went up my nose" for Eels I've just stumbled across this fabuloso extra snippet and it's literally the bottom line. I've also done a copy/paste of the whole song for you as I knew you'd all want to sing along: R. White’s Lemonade: 1973
I’m a secret lemonade drinker, (R. White’s, R. White’s)
I’ve been trying to give it up, But it’s been one of those nights (R. White’s, R. White’s). R. White’s lemon-a-a-ade, R. White’s lemon-a-a-ade, I’m a secret lemonade drinker, (R. White’s! R. White’s! R. White’s!) Sung by Elvis Costello’s dad
There you go. 😁

I've always been bemused by that screaming malarkey, never could get my head around it. I'm not exactly in touch with the yoof so I could be wrong but I don't think there's been a reaction like that for a band for quite a while.
