Good adverts there including another great Heineken one. I find that one quite funny. When was the British 10p coin featured in the Girobank one launched? And is Nadim Sawalha related to Julia and Nadia, both TV personalities? I mentioned the Heineken one, I can also recognised the music that was also used in the Milk advert of the early 1990s. Any ideas as to the name of the piece I am referring to?
These ads are actually from 1981 - the break bumper makes it obvious that they were recorded from Westward, which went off air at the end of that year, and a search of the British Stamps site confirms that those stamps were issued in 1981 (the music in that ad is "Kidlington Green" by Ivor Slaney, btw).
