I just have very limited internet access at the moment, which is annoying (if things get much worse, I'll have to read a book!)<br /><br />Mrs Trefusis - just type "public information film" in the YouTube search box and a box of delights awits you.<br /><br />Mr Street - an excellent suggestion, although I'd like to include salespeople who to try persuade me to change my gas and electricity supplier.<br /><br />Laura - a 2-DVD boxed set?

Just as well such attention to housework has gone out the window, along with the housewife who had time to do it.<br /><br />Funny how they thought it a subject worth making an ad about though! <br /><br />Elderly people wearing slippers (clue is in the name) are surely far more of a trip hazard.<br /><br />The 2-DVD box set 'Charlie Says' covers this and many other classic ads of the last 50 years, but it does get somewhat monotonous after a while.The Poet Laura-eatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07779308486569849157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32570460.post-82844992671391204142010-06-19T11:32:07.911+00:002010-06-19T11:32:07.911+00:00Yet nobody thought to polish a floor, put a rug on...Yet nobody thought to polish a floor, put a rug on it and invite the Jehovah's Witness in for a change.Mr London Streethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05141191628680903646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32570460.post-88544393365382691312010-06-19T09:35:32.967+00:002010-06-19T09:35:32.967+00:00Ah, they don't make public safety ads like the...Ah, they don't make public safety ads like they used to. And where, oh where is the helpful advice for the middle classes these days? Nowhere. Yet again, we're the ignored class -squashed by punitive taxation at one end, neglected by the COI at the other-the nanny state seems to think that those of us brought up by nannies don't need any help at all.
