there is something very homely about this advert. when this was new i was just a kid but it painted a fairly accurate picture of lots of homes in britain. dashing home from school or work in horrible weather and walking through the door to the warmth and the smell of something delicious for tea. beef stew and dumplings of which oxo cubes are an esssential ingredient. it still happens in my house today, the aroma of beef stew with oxo waffting through the house after trudging home from work.
Cool, I vaguely remember this ad, I was 3 years old at the time, and I remember the child in the hall, and the man running in the rain, through the alley. He actually looked a bit like my own dad. I really thought at that time that oxo really did "chase" away the rain!!! The Oxo cubes of today though are not as nice as they were back then
I just got the weirdest feeling in my stomach from listening to that! I can actually feel the wind whipping at my coat as I walked home from school in oxford. I love this ad!
blast from the past!

I had no idea who sang this until just now. Before I thought it was Olivia Newton-John. Nice to see this ad on YouTube. :)
