I think it was Carphone Warehouse, with the sad mobile phone walking in the rain looking in the windows of all the homes with happy mobile phones and Dairy Lea Dunkers where the kid is talking to "Dunk" the dipping stick. Dunk says something to him, then the kid replies: "That's okay Dunk," \*crunches down on Dunk like he's a semi-developed character in Attack on Titan\* "Because you haven't got a head."

The annual event that was the Woolworths Christmas Ad—it would last a full commercial break and be the main topic of conversation for the whole country the day after it premiered. Also the Duluxe paint ads with the old English sheepdog, particularly the one with the song: May the gloss in Ross be a good gloss; May the windowsills of Winchester shine. Ceilings, cover well in Motherwell; the walls of Birmingham wipe clean of pea and ham and the skirting boards of Fife have a long life. So here we stand, with brush in hand for the best paint! [Apologies if I got those words a little wrong, I'm falling asleep LOL.]

there was a Sprite advert that said something along the lines of "Sprite will not make you run faster, jump higher, be more attractive to the opposite sex... what Sprite will do is quench your thirst!". In the era of 90s x-treme kids adverts, child me thought that was terribly clever.

When I was a young teen in the 2000s, there was an advert for a supermarket clothing brand. I think this was from a time when supermarket fashion labels were new, and the message of the advert was "these are cheap, which is kind of a novelty!" So a woman arrives at a fancy pool party (on horseback?), and kisses a guy there. Woman 2 comes over and throws red wine over her white dress. Then Woman 1 takes off her dress and drops it to the floor revealing another identical dress underneath - while maintaining direct eye contact with Woman 2. This had such an influence on me as a youngster. I wish I could find it again!

The song had backing vocals by Elvis Costello. It was written & sung by Elvis' dad, Ross McManus. I don't think that's him in the advert though... Probably just some poor bastard who got paid £50 for a few hours work one day, and then ended up being on TV, dozens of times a day, for two decades. Can you imagine being the Shake & Vac woman?
