British TV advertising slogans and jingles from the past

Tweet

I think nothing can fling me back into the past, particularly my childhood like hearing a hymn we sung at school, or being reminded of old British TV ads during the 1950s and 1960s (maybe some from the 70s & 80s too). Here are a few that are in my mind right now, though I'm sure I've forgotten lots.
