Adverts 90 entries
These are mostly UK television adverts and there are some real classics among them. I’m hoping I can end up having links behind each one so that you can watch them. It might mean I have to scour old VHS tapes and digitise them, or I might speak to someone nicely on YouTube and see if I can link to theirs. This is one category where I really don’t think I have dumped all my brain yet. There will be quite a few more ads added to this page soon I think.
