✊😎 That’s great. It reminds me of the advertisements seen on the cover of Elton John’s Tumbleweed Connection.

Looked up Rajah Cigars and this appeared…

😎...Love those old vintage metal signs and their wonderful designs/graphics.

Been playing some Trojan dub tonight..😎

I've had quite a few pairs of creepers in my time. I think the first pair I had, was as a school lad, around 14 or 15 years old, 1974/75.

This advert predates that, as it's still in the pre-decimal currency, £sd, so before 1971.

😎

Just finished listening to the audible version of Bobby Gillespie’s memoir, read by the author. Both brothel creepers and winkle pickers he mentions frequently.

I used to wear wink's a lot, too.

Rock City, Notts....All the great bands have played there...Well, I don't know about all, lol, but you get my drift...I've been there many. many times.

Imagine being able to say you'd seen the Human League, Magazine, The Undertones and the Bunnymen, all at the same venue and all within an 11 day stretch!...all for a tenner!!😲

These dates were in 1980, the opening year of Rock City. Went to The Bunnymen gig and it was electric!...Missed the others, because I was living away at that time (Wales) and came back to Notts that particular weekend Echo & the Bunnymen were playing...But I have seen the other bands play.

Can you remember it?...Did it sell well?...was this drink around for any length of time?

I do remember it but the memory however happy is fragmented.

I don’t remember the television ad …

… or do I? 🤔

Yep.

Alan Ford as Brick Top in Snatch (2000)

@wadcorp I don't remember them but I remember when Chia Pets emerged that it felt like I'd seen the principle in action somewhere before.

Tribute to Winston?

😎Yep - Here's Winnie !

@Jeff Green great ad. It's hard to believe that OMD sort of resembled Starsky & Hutch at some point.
