Again, this is actually from the spring of 1986.

I'm not doing too well with my dates am I!? Thanks again Robin. I think what confused me was that the Vauxhall Belmont was described in the advert as being new. Probably an updated model then.

pyramints were my all time favourite chocolate, unfortunately they stopped making it, so i had to settle for the mint version of the munchies, i forgotten its name.

pyramints arent coming back soon as ive emailed terrys earlier this year :o(

can anyone else ask for them, maybe we can get them brought back.

thanks for sticking this up

Classic Persil advert amongst the adverts there from twenty five years ago.

Pyramint ad - main voiceover is Leslie Philips, endplate v/o is Kenneth Williams.

The Vauxhall Belmont - statistically the car most likely to be stolen than any other

Wow, it's been a while since I saw the Persil animation I did for that commercial. I think J. Walter Thompson still owes me money for "re-purposing" the graphics (which were originally from a longer, fully animated spot)!

thanks for this radioandtv , persil and pyramint were classics. never thought id see them again. you rock

I remember Pyramints when I was a kid, but I wasnt too fond as they were hard as concrete and the peppermint centre was a bit strong for me.

Im sure I'd love them now though...

[jameslingard]

is that John Schneider in the bud ad?

Kenneth's voiceover in the Terry's ad is preceded by Leslie Phillips' voiceover.
