Rolls Rapide advert

Nice to see the old adverts, especially Gran's old machine.

It does seem strange though, to have three adverts in the same paper. These days, you're hard pressed to find one advert.

Washing plunger...

...or a product from the planet Skaro?

"Exterminate!" (Rolls falls to the floor in a dead faint...)

Who/what/are Belling? I've never heard of that name unlike other UK ones most of us have heard of like Kenwood, Morphy Richards etc.

Belling...

Is an old electrical appliance company, renowned for their cookers (stoves). Competitor to the 'Creda' cooker firm, and of a similar age.

One of their most popular models was the 'Baby Belling'; a table top oven/grill with a ring/hotplate or two on top.

Now owned by Glen-Dimplex (of heating appliances fame).
