Does anyone else remember an advert for Economy 7 heating shown in the early 80s? I always got the feeling it was a midlands-only thing, but I might be wrong. It featured dancing cartoon storage heaters singing a song to the tune of 'Sentimental Journey'.

'Gonna make your home all warm and cosy,
Slimline heaters all for you,
something... something... something...
Seven!
Run them on Economy Seven,
Cheaper electricity - heaven!'

If anyone happens to have a clip of this mini cheese-fest anywhere I'd love to see it again.

Where do I start for NI ads?

"That's great, that's great, that sets the pace, that's great, that's Crazy Prices!" with Jim Megaw

"One, two, Bishops for shoes, three, four, bargains galore..." - and they still have ads like that around Christmas

Not chessy but still classic... "Primark, got a whole lot of things for Christmas, got a lot for the fam-i-l-e-e-e..."
