loved the weetabix cut-outs and scenes. I remember the various Disney and doctor who ones. My favourite cereal back then was the 'Sooty' wheat snaps. Sweep advertised coco pops, which have survived until today of course....

Regardling Nestlé. The company originated in Switzerland and was pronounced as the French, Nestlé, everywhere else other than the UK. Fortunately, the English verb nestle, meaning to move or arrange oneself into a comfortable and cosy position, fitted well with the company's logo of a bird sat near a nest of chicks. However, as the 80's drew on, the decision was made to cut costs, and the French pronunciation was adopted in the UK, in the commercials from that time onwards.

@areyoureceivingme Tank Command makes me sick.

If you didn't have a Raleigh bike you were a tramp, and you probably drank out of dog food tins...and sat on milk crates.. kids were really kind back then... that tank command game looks like fun... Ideal games were cool!

does make me smile that Nestlé was always used to be wrongly pronounced as Nestles and is now Nestlé.

@ChameleonDave they did but just deemed it too continental (out there/fancy) for the general public to handle. the nestle logo was a nest with chicks and a parent bird if i'm not mistaken hents nest...lay!
