    Do you remember the one for the Bull Ring Shopping Centre ?

    The only line I can remember is - "Come by bus or come by car, theres a place where you can park it" . . . . .

    I vaguely remember a late 70s, early 80s ad about the Bull Ring. Can't remember the words, but it was sung in an awful cod-Brummie accent and had shots of people looking awestuck at the beautiful 1960s concrete structure enveloping them, containing all their retail dreams and aspirations.

    Bostin! :D

    These two are more public information films than adverts, but they were played so often in the seventies that I still know them word for word!

    But ask about the Bran Flakes, that's a different matter, here's what they all reply -
    "They're tasty, tasty, very very tasty.
    They're very tasty."

    AND it starred Ross Kemp too. With hair!!

    Do you remember the one for the Bull Ring Shopping Centre ?

    The only line I can remember is - "Come by bus or come by car, theres a place where you can park it" . . . . .
    I visited central Birmingham recently to see the fascinating Back to Back houses.

    When I realised that the fabled Bull Ring Shopping Centre was nearby, I broke into song believing myself to be Lenny Henry:

    "At the Bull Ring Shopping Centre
    There's a smile on every face.
    And each shop there(?) that you enter
    It's a most familiar(?) place..."

    Oh the power of West Midlands advertising in the ATV region! There used to be a great toy shop in Leamington Spa which advertised on TV, so we went one day...

    A finger of fudge is just enough to give your kids a treat
    A finger of fudge is just enough until its time to eat
    It's full of Cadbury's goodness and very nice to eat

    I know it's not actually a jingle and therefore irrelevant to my own thread post but I had a flashback to this one this morning

    "Come on France, Europe, the world. I'll take you all on! I'm Ray Gardner. I drink Blackcurrant Tango. Come and get me!"
