Do you blokes remember using this?
« on: January 17, 2014, 11:30:45 PM »
Just a tad before my time - but I would have goobed it on in gallons if it was still around...







Got any stories/memories of 'brilling up'?


The Bodgies and The Widgies?  The Mods and the Greasers?





Cheers, Diesel

What do you mean remember it? I still use it and still drive a 1957 FE sedan (just a little bit tweeked).





Only kidding, I don't use it any more, although I have on occasions borrowed my sons Hair Gel when the hair got a bit long and unruly. My dad used it up until the day he died at 92 and I'm sure a few members of rod club I belong to still use it. Some of them seem to be stuck in a time warp.

I certainly remember the add, my mum used to pour on dads californian poppy hair oil.
It had its own distinct aroma. I also never recall having nits at school, I think hair oil was just too much for the little beggars.

The Bodgies and The Widgies
Now that brings back memories.
I remember a Bodgie asking a Widgie if she's ever been picked up by the fuzz.
And she replied, "No, but I bet it hurts."

Oh dear!  Did we really think those cheesy ads were enticing??

It wasn't Brycleem that set your hair like a helmet.  Was that Californian Poppy that did that?  I know there was one that did.

Another classic from the time was Bex (and Vincents APCs).
They rotted out many a hassled mother's kidneys.

It only took one mention of a funny add, and I'm off on another tangent!  :grin :grin

The Leggos add....

"When your man's come home from a rough day at work, open up your 'Leggos' and give his meat a treat!"

The Salvital add....

"Little housewife, has such a hard life,
Worn out before her man gets hooooo-o-ome
So they gave her, a glass of Salvital,
Now he's afraid to come home alone" as he's dragged through the front door when getting home.

and for the last one from much more recent times.....
