    The only later advert I could think of was Cillit Bang and that was genuinely annoying to the point that I'd refuse to buy the product, unlike Shake and Vac which was irritating but it got in your head and wouldn't put me off buying, although the supermarkets brought out their own cheaper versions later.

    God I was at school then how did I know or care about shake and vac?

    Just remembered the tune to This is the age... Of the train. Was that Jimmy Saville doing the voice over? Probably best forgotten that one.
    alas the lipton ones would be deemed racist now.... maybe because they were so good... thats the trouble with bandying race etc around. its not all bad folks, its just a reflection of life. its only bad when its nasty

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Don't remember the Lipton tea ones but I reckon the PG Tips chimps would be cancelled if they were still around.

    Nothing to do with Lipton Tea Lawrence, Grant was referring to the Maureen Lipman BT ads. Like this one:
