"Murray Mints, Murray Mints, the too-good-to-hurry mints. Why make haste? When you can taste the hint of mint in Murray Mints"

Alright, I was just eight years old, but for some reason I remember this silly ad. :-D

Pizza and pasta are still a little bit foreign. Real English food means Curry.

DS, I was on youtube on Friday and scared the life out of myself by watching the public information films in the 70's. I forgot how horrific they made them.

I was going to post them but I thought probably not a great idea... nothing worse than seeing that advert where the kid goes to get his frizbee back from an electricity pylon!!!

I remember thinking, "dont do it" even from 4 years old!!!

does anyone else remember the one about the boy who still keeps his football boots, even after his walk on the railway line?

I like the one where they warn kids about the danger of water spots by using Death in the background and Donald Pleasence as the voice of death's monologue. Absolutely mad, lets scare the wits out of children till they're too scared to leave the house!!! ;) Brilliant (If they would only make one to get them to listen to their parents and teachers!)

I think the racial memory of being skint for decades at a time is a bit to do with being English.

I tend to think you should know about it. Even if your family were lucky enough to have been quite well off. You should know that a lot of people had a tough time for a long time, and that's how our country was - probably for centuries. Til the war really.
