jackson 301 Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 'I told 'em Oldham!' Hi Paulus, at least you've got the idea. Yes, I remember saying the slogan with a firm, dictatorial accent - what we kids learnt from adverts eh? We could have sat an O' Level in TV Ads! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paulus 541 Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Most times ad's were more interesting than the programmes, certainly as/more memorable, whis was excatly the point of them............ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But wasn't the "I told 'em Oldham" slogan for batteries? Not sure... Loved Oldham when i worked up there,,,used to do interviews in the ''Spindles centre'' ? the interviews were for Security staff at ''Dawn Mill'' Shaw,,(pulled down now a supermarket,,criminal),,if anyone knows the area,,, Shaw and indeed Oldham are right on the edge of the beautiful Pennines.....great accent proper Northern,,,there used to be a Drama school in Shaw (might still be) that produced many bit part actors whose faces are well known,,,think Cannon and Ball are from Oldham 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
