Confession time: I have always loved that white nightshirt that you had worn in the advert getting out of the bed to the bathroom - I wanted one myself. Who are the two people on the front of it? Some 1980s pop group members, perhaps? Makes me think of the style of Wham for some reason.

This was one of the most memorable adverts in me growing up as a kid (now 38). This has gotta be late 80s early 90s. Wow, and we get to meet the on here the girl who starred in this advert - what a pleasure; you look fantastic Sally. This was totally another world but a great world and one without overwhelming technology.

I also found out that Sally appeared in Coronation Street around the end of 1980 as someone called Karen Oldfield, and was something to with Elsie Tanner's son or nephew Martin. Saw an episode from that era, and the character and the woman in this advert look the same for all the obvious reasons. Karen left an engagement ring on the table before leaving number 11, turning down Martin's proposal.

I seem to recall they cut out the line about him touching her knee, and the line about "half way home at the end of my tether", I guess once the advert was in people's minds they could run the shorter version for less cash and still have folk humming the tune in the supermarket tea aisle. Never realised it was Boycie at the time! What years did it run between?

Was this song a rip off of another song or written for the advert? I feel old AF remembering it anyway.
