KnightswoodBear Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 When I was a young kid (early - mid 80's), my Granpa used to watch me a couple of days a week when my mum was at work. I distinctly remember anytime I'd ask "Where's mummy?", his response was always "She's run off with a <racist word>". Now whenever my kids ask the same question, this leaps to the front of my mind, like it's trying to get itself said.* *It has never succeeded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soapy FFC Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 I remember a beer advert in the pictures (cue Pearl and Dean music) that took place in a pub. A go-go dance came in and got up on stage, and everyone rushed over to the stage to watch, but one guy stood at the now empty bar and watched the show using the mirrors above the bar that gave a perfect view. I can’t remember if it was McEwan’s or Tennent’s, but was late 70’s or early 80’s and the go-go dancer is certainly ingrained in my memory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microdave Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 I can still remember the first staff no. I ever had. I was there for five years and left in 1998. I have to check my payslip for my current one where I've worked for the last sixteen years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 A variety of bits from peep show pop into my head on at least a weekly basis, but most recently it was the face jez makes when he’s in the job interview and the phrase “Mummy is probably the turkeys nickname. It could easily be” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 (edited) 0898 21! 21! 21! Hard to believe that anyone actually phoned those things, but I guess they must have done. There were so many adverts on for them past 9pm. Edit: just looked it up, and that's about £1.30 a minute in modern money Edited September 10 by BFTD 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The radio adverts for Maureen 118212 are still kicking about. I canny believe that in the internet age, people are still phoning a directory enquiry service at a squillion £ per minute to obtain info they could google in 30 seconds. Yet, there must be a market for it if they can afford radio advertising, and still make a profit above that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
