Joe and Petunia - coastguard (1968)

[dcanmore]

Reminds me of a woman I used to work with ugh *shivers*

[GlowWorm1962]

The way Petunia licks that ice cream is just disturbing.

[OzzyMandez]

But he didn't een NEED the coastguard! He used the speech bubble to get himself out! What a time waster.

[DrWhoFreak100]

pahahaha its funny coz thats a hilarious yorkshire accent. "lovely day, in'tit"

[JFredUK]

'Lovely day in'tit?'

[baddacoodoo]

That woman is thelma from the likely lads

[Amandamoo73]

the updated version with Joe and his burberry cap was on channel 4 a few weeks back!

[MrThermomanPreacher]

Petunia looks like Patrick off Spongebob Squarepants' sister

[cozener1]

Petunia can like my ice cream cone any day!!!

[bhoyardee]

Haven't seen this in yonks! Great ad., and we used to imitate it at school!

[spenge74]

The way she eats that ice cream, I bet Joe is a happy man!! lol

[PunchyMcJudy]

lol, how effeminate was that coastguard?

[belial1974]

they did an updated version of this last year...with mobile phones dont you know lol

[agonyuncle]

yeah but they added a chemtrail

[CrumpetForest]

petunia is such a tart

[MFAtlas]

Still shows on Five early in the morning

[CashOnTheNail1955]

Using '911 & ask for the coastguard' for-years :)

BT are ripping-out public phone-boxes [part of the UKs 'Cold-War' defence-grid] here in the UK 'cos most-everybody has a cell/mobile [often without a 'signal']; phone-boxes attract hookers & stand-in for public-toilets :(

[iluvyurbles]

or usse or speech bubble as a balloon

[stedav100]

Joe and Petunia! Brilliant!

[jameshenrick07]

Does this still work if you ring 999 and ask for the coastguard?

[dannyr1980]

Yeah you can still ask for the coastguard or mountain rescue through 999

[jameshenrick07]

haha thx :)

[knighttemplar99]

Yep it does, just did the same thing an hour ago.

[Applemask]

Yes.

[britishchileantube]

[123neil074]

[sdingrey]

Joe & Petunia - The undisputed king & queen of Public Infomation Films!

[XxjaneyjoexX]

XxXxXxXxX :]

[skillionaire]

[88888888BBBBBBBB]

If only those speech bubbles could get you out of danger like that. I love Joe and Petunia.

[VinnyMonster1]

@88888888BBBBBBBB

Joe & Petunia rock!

[ajhow]

they will put you through to a coastal radio staion...oh no there,s none left! :(

[mubd1234]

If I was in the sailors situation, I would just say,"HELP! DIAL 999!", without the "ask for the coastguard!"

[barringtonbank]

These adverts are real classics. Excellent.

[KarenOsment]

These were brilliant.

[12345oleary]

Oh god these are just precious

[reknawfiend]

If anyone ever posts the one about what happens if you mix crossply and radial tyres, my life shall be complete.

[coljaz]

You've probably found it already, but it's just been posted (Crossplys and Radials Don't Mix). The one I'm waiting for (or if it's on I can't for the life of me find it) is the one with the clock counting down the last minute of the little girl's life while mum sits at the sewing machine.

[reknawfiend]

I hadn't looked recently, so thanks for letting me know!

[numberstation]

They showed this on ch5 approx 5.55am for a few days about a week ago.If you like these wonderful time-pieces,(I'm addicted,)buy the "Charley Says" dvd from HMV.There's bloody hundreds on there!

[collieuk]

This one was actually back on TV briefly on ITV a few months back. Quality!

[Bramzy]

bring these back just brilliant!

[TheRadioFanatic]

I saw this one the other day. but instead of using the public phone, he used a mobile.

[gerrad1973]

yeah - its been remade

[jasonolsen99]

Plus he had a burberry cap in the new one lol

[Bulldog1115]

Petunia also had an ipod, there was an airplane in the sky and a LOOK magazine at her feet. I really must get out more.

[Mindfreak5150]

Hahahaha, I used to love these! Never knew their names though
