Need help please - What advert is this off ??

Postby moonbeam » Nov 13th, '06, 17:12



Well I was talking to one of my customers today (I'm a window cleaner :wink: ) when she told me her name was Rita. "Ooh Rita, that's my mum's name", I said.
As soon as I said it, I immediately thought of an advert on TV quite a while ago, where I think a guy is in a bar trying to chat women up. He asks one their name and when they reply with Susan, for example, he sighs and says something like, "Susan, that was my mother's name." Then, when she fobs him off, he moves on to the next victim using exactly the same approach.

Anyone remember this ad??

I kinda think it might be advertising a drink but I'm not too sure :?

Help plzzzz it's been driving me mad all day :shock:

QUESTION:
If we can sue McDonalds for making us fat and cigarette companies for giving us cancer; why can't we sue Smirnoff for all the ugly gits we've sh*gged ??

I think it was bitter or lager. It's probably 1980s, and I want to say Harp Lager, but I also have a feeling it was Tetley's bitter. Mind you, there were a lot of new lagers in the 80s.

I was thinking it was a lager or a bitter ad - but I'm still not too sure :?

I was hoping that someone would know for sure and then I'd hear the sweet sound of a heavy thud as the penny drops as I think to myself, "Oh yea that's it". :shock:

:roll:
