I don't think advertisers have realised that sometimes people can be so
irritated by repetitive showing of an ad that it can put them off the
product through sheer annoyance! I mean - how many cheap sofas does
anyone need?! The other interesting thing, my brother told me a long
time ago, is that having someone very famous in an ad can actually
detract from the product because all the public remember is the actor.
He created the now long-ago ad for WH Smith in which Nicholas Lyndhurst
played every member of a family and that was hugely successful because
it was funny but also because of the attention-holding novelty of 1 well
known person seen in many guises. If an ad is like a little playlet, it
holds the attention. The awful droning on ads that relentlessly push
have a negative effect, imo.


Who doesn't remember Oxo Katie?
Well discounting the youngsters.

Lol! Linda Bellingham gently complained recently that one of the royal
family had talked of her character in those ads. She'd rather hoped he
might have remembered her other and many rôles!

She was a very good 'Katie' but do you remember the original?

Yes. I looked her up and she was Mary Holland. I remembered her but not
her name. She was very 'cleancut', a bit Sylvia Peters, whereas with Linda
and her screen ad husband, there was always a 'frisson d'amour' going on.
Amazing what a bit of stock could do...!

lol true))))))))))))

I think the world actually did end in June 1991 as predicted*, but
no-one has told us yet.

I always think that one day someone will be correct. After all the Daily
Express keep forecasting terrible weather and every now an again they
are right. Law of averages I guess. Not this time I hope, I have
purchased me seeds for next year.

I am beginning to think it ended last year and we are now coming to the
end of our first year in Purgatory.

I loved the Evening Standard there was a junior crossword in it and
cartoons i think. My dad used to bring it back from London every night
and I think there were other puzzles as well.
Comedians used to imitate the newspaper boys shouting Evening Standard
as it used to come out rather like "evenin' staddurd"
