Thanks Arthur. I thought it was later than 75. Funny how your mind plays tricks

I remember a public information ad. When I was a kid. It was about coughing and sneezing in public places. I mainly recall a droning voice in the ad that kept on repeating "Coughs and sneezes spread diseases catch your germs in a handerchief."
I was reminded of it a few weeks ago on a plane journey home to Britain. I was sitting next to a Manchester woman in her sixties who was couging and sniffling throughout the flight back without any attempt to cover her mouth.
Sure enough I came down with a virus myself a day or two later. I'm all for these public information films so long as they are not propaganda.

I think we need pifs more than ever today. The public needs a bit of preaching to on some matters, particularly health.

That reminds me of a bloke that sat opposite me when I worked in Hammersmith, he had a complete lack of personal care or social skills and everyday would sit at his desk troughing a packet of crisps, gob open for the world to see. If anyone spoke to him either they would get a barrage of soggy crisp or he'd have to wipe his computer screen. Sam.

Spot on OTBHF, one of the best Christmas ads in recent years: very very poignant.
It is also all the better for not bowing and scraping to the box ticking, politically correct equality issues that form every sodding advert these days.
Sam.

Here's an advert from the 70's, the music from which came to my mind earlier this evening. Somehow don't think the scenes would pass as suitable in this day and age but I'm sure some of you will remember this one which preceded the George Cole adverts from the 80s.
Gene.
