The best days ever,way better than today.

Only if you're wearing your rose tinted specs.

[@fluxington]

@@TheKevinGHutton Your comment is typical of either someone who wasn't alive in the 80's, or a hand wringing collectivist who likes to write off entire decades, because they weren't progressive enough. In previous times, society was more simple and less divided, therefore life was better. We were *much* happier.

[@BecomeConsciousNow]

Makes me feel all warm and cosy :)

Apart from the Woolworths ads, I miss the various alcohol ads most. QC sherry stood for 'quite crappy' according to my late Dad! Great memories.

[@CowmanUK]

Great collection of 80's Christmas ads, and some regional ones but from all over the UK, which was nice! Awesome. It certainly gave me my nostalgia fix for the day.

[@Foodylox]

6:39 "You can play exciting games, like 'Adrian Mole'!".🤣

[@CowmanUK]

Haha ikr. Clueless.

[@ToTheWind]

Awesome. Thank you.

[@BRAVOROBINSON]

Right in the feels.

[@nellyfett2681]

Brilliant!!

Great to see old Xmas ads....do people still drink sherry ? I had the button camera

[@annemariestones3984]

I think some older people do still.

[@fluxington]

​@@annemariestones3984 It's a pity it's seen as an older persons' drink in this country. Forget 'cream sherry', a bottle of Spanish Jerez sherry can be like a very distinctive, enjoyable fine wine.

[@twitchygiraffe4636]

Jesus Stylus were milking that ad! Only the Stock Aitkin Waterman hit factory one interests me, the rest were awful! And the young lady in the woolies ad gets the hip Iggy Pop album while the rest get Aled Jones and Richard Clayderman?? Help!!!! Good festive upload of 80’s christmas ads as usual! Keep up the good work!!!!

[@renepantoja3663]

God save the royals!!

[@ColmORourke1981]

Not *that* Bangor, tsk. Tommy Vance, Paul Gambaccinni, Bruno Brookes, Simon Bates and Robert Powell together on *one* advert? Consider me spoiled.

[@src456]

Iggy Pop? Blimey!

[@philrob1978]

Haha, I know right? Though I'd rather have bought that than the rather moribund selection they were actually featuring!

[@StephenLyons-tl8ie]

Dixons = Rob Dogs.

[@donaldyoung7362]

Santa puffing a dud

[@JohnnyPaton]

£1200 for that Minolta camera in today’s money!! Those adverts are even more shameless than today. Give us all your money, even if your don’t have any, just because it’s CHRISTMAS!!!

[@annemariestones3984]

Yes even with inflation as it is electrics and toys were really expensive in those days.
