Not from the UK but this commercial used to play on the stations we picked up via satellite. Never knew what they were singing/selling but I remember the "I could do with a D" which I always thought was T. Thanks for posting
@@effdiffeyeno171 Yes I remember those! White Playstations were my favourite. I had pills form countless bathes and nothing beat those. They were about around 2003, u remember those?
It’s crazy just how much shit was acceptable back then. Like workplace harassment is still a thing now but back then it was considered an “annoyance” or some bullshit women just had to put up with.
I still sing this annoying song to annoy my gf. I just found this vid so I can show her the original. Interesting to see that sexual harassment in the workplace was used as a humour back then.
Both of theses adds would not be allowed nowadays, the first add was set in the 80's with the faux pas on the sexual harassment, this just wouldn't be accepted theses days, in the second add probability early 90's was strongly stereotyping the roll of the woman in a married relationship, i.e lokking agter the kiddies, doing the shopping and rushing home to cook her husbands tea, whilst he works to support his family. Though there is nothing wrong with this in a general sense but there is more diversity now with alot of woman been the main wage earner also long gone are the days where in most cases one wage is nowhere near enough to support at household.
But they were generally happier more chilled times for everyone back then in the 1980's. We just live in a depressing miserable passive aggressive authotarian society now, where everybody takes offence at everything, and because of that bigotry has only risen. Not just with racism towards non-whites, lgbt and misogyny etc, but with misandry and racism against white folk too, mainly falsely generalising and gaslighting white straight men. So many double standards today.

@@TheCeruleanEmerald Thank you. I'm not quite as well versed in modern language, hence why I still sing this tune. 😁
Thank god for them! ❤️

The English language has evolved a tad since the 80's.
I sing this now and people raise an eyebrow.
It doesn't stop me.
Things are worse people say... I got to go gym
Loved this brand of tea. It was very refreshing
Thanks Jim Stephanie Sterling
Just shows the makers of the ad had it spot on front the start if people are still remembering the jingle 35 plus years on.
Damn right. This song just came to me out of the blue today.
Remember this advert always being on when my mum was rushing around getting us ready for primary school.... Very applicable!
My all time favourite advert, I used to love the feet killing me bit.
Yes that just popped into my head whilst washing up! Oh how dated it looks now
Great Ad with a top jingle.
Jim sterling sent me here.

Beautiful singing, great lyrics and pretty lady characters what a pleasant memory (i dont drink tea though)
0:17 Casual workplace sexual harassment.
The 80s: a simpler time.

I love how it was just acceptable back then haha. Was a weird world.
Bring back more old adverts.
Even now I say "I could do with a D" haha 😀
I think the woman in the first ad is Sally Jane Jackson.
It is indeed. 👍
What year was the first ad, please???

Not so much an advert for tea, as a PSA for why not to have children.
lol too true, i always remembered advert from my childhood. and hubby dreaming new child because he doesnt have to deal with them!!!
I wish we had better quality versions of both of these.
I bet she could
Did this woman sing count duckula theme tune too?
Either way, needing a D has sure changed its meaning
I think the hot woman in the second advert was in brookside?
Thats the last time he touches my knee? Appalling!
What year was the first advert, please???
1988
