Pursil Cares For Your Hands

Watched

Those 5 parts, very interesting. Turns out the predictions weren't true (this show was made 25 years ago).

Also, the OXO Mom (it was only ever played by one actress for all the ads that were run (loads) - Lynda Bellingham) sadly died from Cancer, just this month in fact. She was hoping to see out this one last Christmas and never did (for those outside UK)

Flash

Flash is a brand/range of cleaning products, owned by P&G, still used today. In fact, I belive it is identical to the USAs MrClean (just different name, as is the case with Downy being our Lenor)

However, one thing I have NEVER heard of, is anyone using Flash in the Laundry (as is shown in this program).

I don't know when E for B ran (maybe a bit before my time) but looks to be late 70s/early 80s.

Yes still use OXO (on the odd occasion, other brands have come along now too) but Lynda Bellingham was a national institution, so I would imagine their popularity may have picked back up.

Taken this for you just now

Square Deal Surf

Did anyone or maybe their mothers ever try this stuff?

Also want one of those "Laundry Maids" the older plain talking housewife has in the last "Square Deal Surf" advert. Her accent sounds Yorkshire to me she certainly isn't one to mess about with.

@liamy1

Thanks! What a treasure you are.

Thank you

Thanks laundress, just looking I actually have more flash stuff (the amount of cleaning products I have is disgusting) but the Flash brand must be applied to at least 100 different products.

I've used Surf, but it wasn't when the square deal campaign was run. It is now marketed on the basis of fragrance (comes in about 10 different scents, that they like to change weekly).
