Wow, that takes me back. I remember having paraffin heaters as a kid. I used to love that 'stink'.
The past is a different world.
Ah yes, that smell. I couldn't have been much older than 10 before I was allowed to fill up the reservoir from the cans we kept in the basement. Even younger than that, when we had an open fire, I'd use an axe to make the kindling from the offcuts of wood Dad would brink home from work. As you say, the past is a different world.
Thank you so much for posting that @AddicksAddict, I too chopped kindling as a kid. You brought it back to me. Also remember playing around the coal bunker in our back garden. Seems a lifetime away now.

Now we’re going off topic but I take your chopping wood as a kid and raise you with being asked by your mum to take a shovel and bucket to collect the horse shit the rag and bone man’s horse had dumped in the street outside and shovel it on the roses in the garden...still, at least domestos killed all known germs you might pick up in the process and Daz will have cleaned your clothes whiter than white...
If not mentioned, one of the best ones must have been the Sony Trintron one when they ‘demonstrated’ how much better quality the picture on one of their TVs was and how it was far superior to the one on your tv...except they were demonstrating it on your tv....fck knows how they got away with that one for such a long time.

When we'd go out with a Nan and Grandad, there'd always be a sack and shovel in the boot for collecting any road apples we'd pass, then Grandad, too, would put it on his roses when we got home.
Some people say you should put horse manure on rhubarb, but I prefer double cream myself.
I have never seen that Lub A Club advert. Maybe it wasn't shown in London. But as I am a huge fan of Jimmy Buffett, I immediately recognised the tune as his song Volcano. Very surprised!
There were some great ad campaigns years ago and many of the best were for alcoholic drinks: Leonard Rossiter and Joan Collins for Cinzano; Heineken refreshes the parts other beers cannot reach; Double Diamond works wonders; John Smiths with Peter Kay; Courage Best Chas n Dave ads; try a taste of Martini; Carling Black Label, usually with Stephen Frost and Mark Arden; Guinness had some great campaigns, as well as some awful ones (e.g. Friends of the Guinless).

And I raise you when your mother noticed you were ill and sent you out to breathe in the fumes from newly laid tarmac as a cure.
Possibly one of the best print campaigns was the B&H gold packet as, e.g. one of the pyramids at Giza or a can of sardines with part of the top peeled back. There were quite a few more and they were generally very clever.

A mate of mine found out he was colour blind when as a young graphic artist on one of his first assignments he was given the job of airbrushing B&H adverts, and got the colours wrong. His career was never the same after that.
I remember their was an advert for SKOL lager. I can't remember what the competition on the advert involved (early 80s). We won the competition & received 2 massive tankards SK & OL. We must of been 10-12ish.
