I P Knightley Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I heard that Mike D'Abo made more money out of "Finger of Fudge..." than any other music he wrote. That may have been up until The Office used Handbags & Gladrags, though. Good call on Kia-Ora and I'd completely forgotten the Invergraw Grouse Beaters. A couple I remember hazily are: one for the chocolate bar, "Trophy" with some bloke (possibly Fyfe Robertson) going round in a sports jacket or blazer asking passers by, "What do you think of this new bar Trophy?" The other's an animated ad for the Texan bar - for when a man's gotta chew. The Messicans in the firing squad give the Gringo his last request; it's a Trophy bar and by the time the Gringo has finished it, the Messican's have, naturally, all fallen asleep. Come to think of it, the Gringo may have looked like a young Jeremy Clarkson. Oh, and "Glen's Robertson's, Hutchison's and Stepek." 4 mythical names from the West of Scotland. They may as well have been the four horsemen of the Apocalypse for all I knew in the safety of Edinburgh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you've both triggered a deep down repressed memory; was this advert not on around, or indeed during the Glen Michael Cavalcade, Sunday afternoons.

I P Knightley Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I didn't remember the "redskins"; were the Messicans a figment of my imagination? Think you've both triggered a deep down repressed memory; was this advert not on around, or indeed during the Glen Michael Cavalcade, Sunday afternoons. When I was writing initially, I was wondering whether Glenn Michael starred in (or was the voice of) those adverts. So I suspect you're right. The creepy wee man and his dodgy talking paraffin lamp. But I loved the cartoons. "Pea and ham.....fi a chicken?" You're going to have to expand on that. A bell is rung but it's in a far off steeple somewhere in my mind.

Silvery_Moon Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I believe that advert received some complaints for the way the man was portrayed as being naive and simple. I'm pretty sure it would have received many more complaints if the male/female roles had been reversed. Just my opinion though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldar Hadzimehmedovic Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I associate the Glen's, Hutchison's etc ad with Glen Michaels as well. Maybe it's just the Glen bit. And yes, there was a store on Gorgie Road - Robertson's sounds right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
