Hi Hass,

my turn to formally welcome you to the site.

Thanks to for uploading all those adverts to one place! has made for great viewing over the last couple of evening, with some that i have never seen before coming out of the woodwork - love the 1984 New Generation advert, as well as the Colston 850XD advert.

all great stuff!

New Generation Ad is a hit!!

Hiya Paul, its a pleasure mate, really pleased to hear you guys are enjoying the ads!

It was a learning curve because some the adverts were made before my time or I was too young to remember them. I didn't even know Ariston was called Colston before they changed the name.

Adverts You Might See

Hey gang, if you see any UK Adverts, weather its detergents/fabric conditioners and so on that aren't on The Laundry Lab please give me a shout and let me know. Anything before 2001 would be good for the time being.

Thanks all

Hass

Hass, the linked vid is a riot! Many "Glee" fans he

Welcome to the club. Another friendly funny Brit has come aboard. And as we've learned to say YAY!!!

 

[hassney]

Thank you mickeyd Can I asked what link vid you might be talking about thats caused a roit lol?

 

[mickeyd]

Sure

I clicked on the link in the first post of your thread, and saw washers and dancers and white fabric squares flying all arond, people up on a second tier, and finally young dashing men in white. Alas, it's now gone. It reminded of a current American TV show about a high school glee club. Can you tell me the title so I can see it again. Maybe your channel rotates vids or maybe my computer is having its way with me,

Persil Automatic [Showstopper] Advert

Oh now I'm with you mickeyd, it was the video of the week. It gets changed every Sunday. But here is the link.

While on the subject, I was wondering why I can't put embeded video's on here? Do I need to upgrade my membership to embed videos?

I only ask this, because it save's alot of hassle for you guys having to click on the link.

Cheers

You can embed them here, just put the longer link for embedding in the Message section, not in the URL Link to share section. Here's your video:

<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

 

[hassney]

Upgrade.

hey foraloysius, yeah you can only embed videos if you upgrade your profile...hence why I couldn't post videos on here before

Btw thanks Brent

Hass.

I don't think Robert prohibited non paying members embedding videos in their posts. Just try again.

Very nice!

Thank you for this, this is a real service.

Where are the 50s-60s black and white Persil ads? I'm particularly thinking of the one with Ruth Dunning on the first night of ITV. It's partially animated.

Welcome to AW.org, I hope you will be very happy here.
