Hi all

I'm trying to find the video clip of that Youngers Scotch Bitter advert from around 1983.

It's the one with -

I'd walk t' pub on both me feet and drink a pint of youngers scotch bitter

and

I'd climb th'mountain with hands tied behind back and great big stones f't boots (or similar)

It was well funny (I think)

So is the Haribo advert and the one with Dominos pizza with modified gobs etc.

Any one help?

Not a clue, I don't remember it. I do however have memories of a late 80s/early 90s car advert that I've tried to find evidence of many times but google/youtube/etc always come up with nowt; it was for(I think) a Nissan, although it might have been some other generic bland japanese car, and the memorable bit was that the voice-over was snark delivered in standard car ad cheery tones, something along the lines of 'It's all painted with paint, except for the windows which you can see through! It goes, it stops, it steers left and right! The doors open and shut! Inside there are seats for sitting on!'

I have wondered if it was a spoof, but I remember it being on in a ordinary advert break. Either way extensive perusal of teh internetz has turned up nothing about it, so I'm left with the prospect that I have lost my mind and imagined the whole thing.

I've been after the Heinz Sponge Pudding advert from the 70s for years and share your pain...
