Any advert which ends “But wait! That’s not all...”
if you buy the pointless piece of dreck we’ll also send you every song ever recorded, a lifetime’s supply of booze and a million pounds delivered by a topless model in your new Ferrari.

The first thing he always shouted was' I'm Barry Scott', obviously that didn't work on you. Wasn't his real name.

He's a much admired Shakespearian actor when not doing adverts. His King Lear is still talked about in the Arthur Wait stand.

And his King Kenny is revered in parts of Liverpool.

charity adverts really get my goat. They always show some poorly treated animal or a starving child when I'm about to have my dinner.
Bl00dy inconsiderate.
And when some kid has a split lip, how does that make him scared, lonely and afraid ?

Isn't it more likely the kid is hungry and having trouble speaking ?
And rather sending a camera crew, production staff etc out to these places to make an advert, how about sending some animal feed and doctors ?

Charity Advert "we need your money urgently now"

Me "If it is so urgent to save these poor unfortunates then why are you sitting on a pile of cash, how about spending what you have then asking for more."

It is absolutely shocking the cash reserves that some of these charities are holding

Agreed but those luxury headquarters in central London and high salaries don't pay for themselves.

Seriously though if a charity did a TV add and said look we have spent most of our resources on this and we are running out of cash any day soon I think the public would respond to that.

Poor Nick Kamen died of cancer last Tuesday. RIP.

But he left us with one of the most iconic TV ads ever. This Levi and caused a fair amount of female fluttering in the 80s. This was a proper commercial, not like some of the dross they churn out today.

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

Which is ironic she is encouraging the health of your teeth - as the following morning when you wake up and realise - you would rather chew your arm off if it's under her than wake her up.
