Fly Fishing BY J R Hartley. "It's not just there for the bad things in life" That was the slogan after it helped the old man find his own book. A classic!

    I wonder if JR Hartley ever did get his fishing book.

    Yes, DYR, I vaguely remember that one. The Woman was on the phone to a Wartime memorabilia shop if I remember correctly. I also remember the "Let your fingers do the walking" campaign and used an adaptation of the song "Yellow River" by Christie.

    Do you remember a Yellow pages advert that began with a woman on the phone? She was looking for a pair of tights/stockings. It emerges that her father had promised a pair of them to his girlfriend during the war. For whatever reason they didnt see each other until years later. He reunites with her and turns up to meet her with a pair of these tights he promised her! Nobody else remembers it, but I didn't imagine it.

    Ah I remember the advert with the party and the graffitied portrait. It frightened me when I was little haha. Does anyone know where I can find it, it just seems to not be found anywhere.

    Yup remember that. It ended with the family protrait having a tache and glasses. I also remember there actually was a book called "fly fishing by j.r. Hartley" which became a novelty xmas item. There were also the John Cleese ones with the parrot where they kept using words whci sounded like "yellow pages", the one that sticks in my head is "squarking rages".
