Cliff Ton 10,505 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 I got 17. Does that make me a youngster? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,091 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Got 19, number 17 has me wondering. The saying is very familiar, it just won't come to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Commo 1,292 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 19, just can't remember the lass on Blue Peter! Mind you, I can't remember many names now anyway. Remember I had crush on Patricia Driscoll at the time, ahhh, memories, that's what I love about the Forum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob.L 1,091 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 18. Stuck on numbers 8 and 17. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,091 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 I'm pretty sure 8 is Picture Book. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Commo 1,292 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Just remembered the name I'd forgotten, can I claim full marks with a second attempt? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,091 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 I think 17 is Coca Cola, and Coke? Everything comes to me eventually! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,696 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 19 too I think . Like Commo struggling on the Blue Peter one too. Actually not 100% on 1 , is it a sharp answer ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,696 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Better downgrade me to 18 Katyjay , I thought it was Picture This but your answer sounds better ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Commo 1,292 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 David, Katy is right, and #1 could be said to be more of a "splodge" than Sharp! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 !7........................................ 15, 16 and 20 got me! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,091 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 I think 15 is Strand, 16 is Batchelor? And 20 Valerie Singleton? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,696 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Thats what I thought Katy and should have known the Valerie Singleton one . The Strand advert was a constant ad on Radio London.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Merthyr Imp 729 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Which did you not get Merthyr? No. 14 I assume the word is 'pleases', but although I remember 'Player's Please' I don't remember 'It's the tobacco that pleases' (if that's what it is) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Merthyr Imp 729 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Better downgrade me to 18 Katyjay , I thought it was Picture This but your answer sounds better ! Yes - 'Picture Book' used to be on 'Watch With Mother' on Mondays Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,505 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 This is one I didn't get, and I don't remember ever seeing it before, even when smoking was fashionable. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8b/%22Players_Please%22_sign,_Moira_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1404269.jpg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
