Another great selection of ads. Nice to see some of the RWhites variations that had passed me by as well. A shame that Quatro didn't last longer than it did as I and many of my mates back in the 80's drank it by the gallon. And on the subject of grapefruit flavoured drinks, I'm so old, I can remember this stuff being sold in UK shops for an even shorter time than Quatro... <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-cXq-CjXdE" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-cXq-CjXdE</a>

The John Otway one amused me, I've never seen thar one, I've met him twice over the years and he follows me on Twitter, (#claimtofame), then again I have Victor Lewis-Smith following me on Twitter, heaven knows how that happened, but I'm not complaining! :D
