If you raise your eyes a bit you may notice the head wear, difficult but with training it is possible.10speedsemiracer wrote:..hadn't noticed thatDiscodan wrote:Of course it wouldn't, they're not wearing helmets!PA wrote:Not an advert that would get made today.

Better not take any of this home (unless you are certain of your wife's sense of humour).

I was going to add that no one would’ve seen racing bikes with mudguards and suicide brake levers. I did have to watch it twice to check.PA wrote:If you raise your eyes a bit you may notice the head wear, difficult but with training it is possible.10speedsemiracer wrote:..hadn't noticed thatDiscodan wrote: Of course it wouldn't, they're not wearing helmets!

Also from the sixties / seventies, there was a pub in a village near Dorchester, England called "The Labour In Vain", with an accompanying sign showing a woman trying to scrub a black child white. It would be just too delicious if the village was Piddlehinton or Tolpiddle (home of the martyrs and long since sanitized to Tolpuddle), but, in truth, I don't remember.
I can't find anything on the net about it, but the link is to a similarly named pub in Staffordshire, and I am as certain as I can be, given the gulf of time, that it is exactly the same sign.

Alfred Hawthorne Hill died of a coronary thrombosis in 1992 (does that make you feel old?), but, if it is medically possible to die of a broken heart, then that was surely his fate. He had recently been forced from our television screens and into early retirement by a savage and sustained attack from a group of "alternative" comedians, led by the execrable Ben Elton. Benny had hit the trifecta of political incorrectness: he was racist, sexist, and homophobic. I personally doubt if he was any of these things, but what would I know? I was just a fan.

He was also something that his detractors were unable to grasp, much less imitate. He was funny - side-splittingly funny, belly-laugh funny, roll around on the floor funny!
