Great British advertisements? Who could forget this absolute marvel?!
Still one of the best adverts of all time- we Brits really do get the best ones, don’t we? :)
Old school education TV.
Did anyone else sing the rude version of Magic, Magic E with the swear words?
Council bosses have been left mystified after reports of a wormhole to another portal has opened in a residential street in Brighton.This is England.
missywriter asked: Can I just say thanks for posting all those ads, great sense of nostalgia.
I’m glad you feel this way, because I’ve just queued around 20 more advert submissions
sexandhugsandrocknroll asked: I love this blog :) (just thought I'd let you all know, cuz it's nice to be appreciated)
Thank you lovely :D I’m sorry this took a few days to answer, it got a bit buried by Eurovision and the North / South divide (which I swear to god if anyone brings back up the next two months I will just post videos of young children crying for a week)
A Glasgow nightclub has installed a two-way mirror which allows male revellers in private booths to spy on unsuspecting women as they visit the toilet! With no notification or signage anywhere in the venue many female club goers have been left feeling embarrassed and used. Although they do briefly show the mirrors in a promo video, the club has been quickly deleting comments and posts on their social media from club goers trying to alert others to the situation. This is pretty much illegal and hugley violates privacy. Thank you The Shimmy Club for giving us a shiny, new, creative and cool take on objectification.
article herei’m never leaving my house again, this world is just too fucked up.
WHAT!?
gross gross gross gross gross
Good morning disgusting.
Remember ladies:
- “No space, leave the place” (fingernail test)
- A two way mirror must be set INTO the wall, not placed on top of it.
- If you rap/knock against the mirror, one installed onto a wall (a normal mirror) will make a dull sound, because there’s something behind it. A two-way will have more reverberation.
- Use the flashlight on your phone to shine on the mirror, if it’s a two-way, you’ll be able to see into the other room.
- You can also shield your eyes and see in if you lean up against the glass.
- The room being viewed will have to be brightly lit (10x brighter than the room looking in), so if you’re in a typical dimly lit club bathroom, you’re ok.

Two ways of saying it apparently

Jaffa cakes are serious business…
In late December of 2003, security cameras at Hampton Court Palace, a huge tudor castle near London, captured a startling image. Security guards were unsettled to repeatedly find a fire door open when no one was apparently around. Upon checking the security tape, they were shocked by a ghostly figure, closely resembling King Henry VIII (who died in the 1500s).
Vikki Wood, a spokesperson for the Palace, said “We’re baffled too—it’s not a joke, we haven’t manufactured it. We genuinely do not know who it is or what it is.” They aren’t a ppc company, or even a company looking to gain from this oddity; they are just as baffled like most people who look at this footage.
A security officer, James Faukes, called the incident “unnerving,” and said they’d ruled out their costumed guides. “In fact, they don’t even own a costume like the one worn by the figure on the video. It was incredibly spooky because the face just didn t look human,” Faukes said.
I googled and yep this is legit: BBC article CNN article

So before I go to bed I’d like to apologise for something that was posted earlier.
Earlier a screenshot was submitted to us with the words to the effect of ‘just saw this on my dash’ and we published it. And several people have gotten upset we didn’t just reblog it straight from the source (as it looks like our wording when reblogged rather than a submission).
I’d like to apologise to anyone this upset that you were unhappy with us posting a screenshot, regular followers of the blog will know we (the admins) reblog from people we follow rather than screenshot. It was not posted for notes, honestly, notes aren’t a priority to us, we just want to make people happy. The original text post was written by secretlymisha and they should get the credit for it.
Thank you all for being so wonderful tonight,
YKYBW
