I was born in 1962. I remember my dad winding the alarm clock up in the early hours of January, 1st 1970. I was 8 years old. He said these words to me. 'Son. In years to come people will talk about how great the 60’s were. That’s it now. They’re over. Remember me saying that to you when I’m dead and gone'. I’m 58 now, with a 38 year old daughter, a 32 year old son and five grandchildren ranging from 1 year old to 16 years old. Every New Year’s Eve I remember what my dad said that night. Wise words from the old man! 🙏

I grew up in the 70s... the sun really did seem to shine every day. Our next door neighbour was an old lady, and one day her two granddaughters arrived to stay with her for the summer holidays. One of the girls was an absolute beauty, with long blonde hair and blue eyes. I was completely and utterly smitten with her. We spent the whole of the six week school holiday together, just hanging out, playing rounders, climbing trees. Even though we were only eleven or twelve, i fell totally head over heels for her, and the pain of losing her at the end of the holidays is something i will never forget. Knowing that i wouldn't see her again until Christmas was almost unbearable. And yet, for all that, if it meant i could return to those wonderful childhood days, i would go through all of it again. I'm 56 now, and hardly a day goes by when i don't think about the most beautiful girl i ever met.

I was born in 1971 so I'm not going to argue what a great decade it was for toys, tv, music etc, but I think everybody thinks the decade they grew up in was the best. My dad was 50s mad, my mum was 60s mad...

[@jameshunter7303]

The 70’s were a magical time for many of us (I know it was hard for some). You can feel the magic coming off through some of these adverts. A great time to be alive

[@chatteyj]

@@jpmacc94 Britain was a bit rubbish I hear because you had socialists in power but generally the west was on a high, America had just put men on the moon, we were putting the horrors of world war 2 behind us and we were throwing off the shackles of social norms and repression, it was obviously a good time for the west wish I had been alive for it.

[@jameshunter7303]

Jp Macc and yet everyone seemed to be happier, it’s a strange one. People were generally nicer and warmer, that’s a lot to do with it. It was a great time to be alive, but as I said in my original post, maybe not for everyone

[@jameshunter7303]

Devonian Britain had problems in the 70’s and much of it was to do with the socialist government we had. But we were less materialistic in those days, and in my mind that leads people to be more content with their lot which in turn creates a better, happier society. They were happy times, the 60’s, 70’s even the 80’s which was the decade when materialism and consumerism began to take hold. But back then it was a welcome change, now it’s just made everyone entitled and miserable. The west will fall in the next 20-30 years

God this takes me back. It's funny, I haven't seen many of these for almost 40 years, I wasn't even quite a teen back then, but instantly remembered almost everyone of these. Any I didn't was probably only because they'd been a power cut! ...well, it was late 70s. I find adverts make for great nostalgia of an era bygone, and sadly also a reminder of how much we've lost, brands, shops, actors & actresses, and of course our youth & innocence. The after shave ads looked like magic potions, that could make you irresistible to the young ladies, yeah right. Hai Karate, Brut, Old Spice, and my personal fave back then, Denim. They all promised so much, delivered so little. It's funny to see that same idea used on the current generation with Lynx ads, which they'll be looking back on with fond memories of disappointment in another 40 years. A memorable selection, and the quality is good considering the V2000 format's age. Thanks for taking the time to archive them.

Ah - the joy to watch them trying to wire a plug before using any item is my Jeremy Beadle wish. Now that would be worth seeing. By contrast - can you also remember the old drink driving ads - the ones where there were always teens in the car, some sad song playing away and that it always ended in a horrific crash - and how over the years the ads became more graphic? Along with this - and back to the plug theme - can anyone remember the advice ads on how to wire a plug correctly - with their showing some DIY guy getting electrocuted when he put bare wires into a socket. And I will leave you with a thought - of all the things they've banned in the past 30 years or so - why has the climate and life gotten worse instead of better? Go figure.

Bernard Cribbins is such a treasure

[@MrBlueSky474]

He sure is! His performance on Fawlty Towers as the spoon salesman was incredible!

[@simonpenum]

@@MrBlueSky474 He brings magic to everything he's in. He appeared on Never Mind The Buzzcocks a few years ago and just stole the show. And Coronation street. He's the one of the last of a truly Golden age of British performers

@@destinationmobileone5476 Bloody hell Coke was expensive, even in the early '80s: www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/news/article-1609849/How-prices-have-changed-in-25-years.html Around 1977 and 1979 ish, I used to buy 2 comics every week, Buster and Whizzer & Chips. They cost around 6 - 7 pence each. AND I would grab a bag of Ringos or Wotsits to go with them. (Maybe some chocolate ciggies too :-0 ) So my 2 / 3 quid pocket money was stretched a bit!

You should have joined my boys club where Michael Caine went a few years b4 me. Always remember it from 1966ish 2 Large Buttered Rolls/2 Large pieces of Bread Pudding and a Bottle of Coke for a shilling or 5 pence :)

How things trigger the memory board, overwhelming feeling watching these nuggets is of that irresponsibility, and how we must fight to allow future generations to have a childhood, im not saying it was all plain sailing but shit happens. But i enjoyed mine, all this off some old cheesy ads.

The Philips VCR system was really good quality! I remember being amazed by the picture quality at the AVA Department at college, even compared to Sony U-Matic. However, I always thought the concentric tape reels and skewed tape path inside the cassette seemed an odd design choice?

[@Seeker7100]

omg I remember buying Morny for my Mum, Gran and aunts at Christmas! Life seemed so much simpler then and definitely not as cynical! My sisters and I also had many of the K-tel LP's they were much better than the cheap 'Top of the Pops that didn't have the original singers - they were awful!

These are some of THE BEST British commercials that I have seen on this here website, in one go. And, I remember most of them from first time around...Sad to say... :-/ "Just Musk". Yuck! I bet that guy would be sacked for sexual harassment now.

@@AtheistOrphan I had it as a kid. It took ages to plot the ships into the game before the start then things still sometimes went wrong as you had to be super accurate with the sliders to get them positioned correctly. I loved the sounds though :-) .

I thought that. It's not very difficult. I don't recall anyone in my street having it, testimony to savvy parents not buying a pointless game.
