“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams.............
Superman was the first film I got to go and see on my own. It was screened at Norwood Public Library because Norwood had no cinema and the Library saw it as it's job to step in and show some new releases locally.
Remember the smurfs ad for National petrol stations & how close that atrocious song came to topping the UK singles chart that summer. Thank heavens for John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John with Grease
Thanks for this. I was 16 in 1978 and remember it well.
Something iconic about those Martini ads.
I wish I could remember xmases past but I can't. Love to go back to sample the excitement of it all. Just to hug my mum and tell her I love her.

Ha ha that's hilarious a time before the Internet was the juggernaut it is today 🤣

Doesn't apply to deja vu.
Martini adverts take me straight back in time.
Remember these classics back in 1978.

Wish the ferry companies still existed. Way better than flying😊
You're a lady of great discernment
Proper ads no charity begging for money
Was a 10 year old back then 1978, northern Ireland.
Same age then too!

Note the same voice actor on more than one ad. His voice is etched in my mind
Christopher Timothy adding his voiceover skills to his CV, he was also used to sell national newspapers with their sensationalist straplines.
How little our needs and desires have changed
Is it wrong I pine for the 1970’s…
Well, I do for the 1980s.
Absolutely not in fact the older I get the more I wish I could push a button and go back to the1970s and stay there permanently..😮
It shows common sense IMO
you have a reservation, Sir
oofff
Gary Lineker looked a lot younger back then.

Size of those wagon wheels. !!!
Love the nostalgia of this. Glad the ads of today are no longer sexist and racist though.
Wish the prices were the same.😄
Most of these have nothing to do with Xmas
Who is the voice on the texas adverts?
1:36 Tommy Vance.
Christopher Timothy at 14:00.
That Wagon wheel ad wasn’t for the UK
Eh test card 😂
