The advert of Jimmy getting fatally, electrocuted in a substation trying to retrieve a frisbee was witnessed by his sister Amy who gave foolish advice to him but Jimmmy did not say no Amy and stay out of the electrical substation silly boy.

@rojblake82 i never knew his sister had a name.

[rojblake82]

@disjoinedchip2 Amy is Jimmy's sister,s name and Amy is a very foolish girl.

Does anyone remember the 1980s RTE water safety advert? A mother leaves her toddler near an inflatable pool, goes to take a phone call and in mid conversation looks across the room through the French windows and sees the kid's feet sticking up from the pool. OHMIGOD! she yells and rushes from the phone. Then you see a newspaper clipping about a toddler drowning

@SkinnedBabiesinSalt Yeah remember that one as well. Jaysus those safety ads were awful scary.

another RTÉ accent which sounds more like and English accents than an Irish one.. how embarrasing

[SkywaldHorrormood]

Yeah it's the UK ad re-dubbed.

[rojblake82]

@steevill The girl is called Amy who watches Jimmy and shrieks his name.Amy was very foolish.

Classic! it's a wonder any children made it through the late 70s, with the ESB slughtering all frisbee wielding, kite flying, football playing kids.
