    As ITV celebrates being around for 60 years in the UK which are your favourite television adverts?

    For some reason I remember one about cigarettes from the late 1950s with the tag line "You're never alone with a Strand". They were with drawn about a year later...because no one wanted to be associated with a "sad lonely bastard" apparently.

    So come on boys and girls what are your favourite adverts and advertising jingles....

    "Murray Mints, Murray mints
    The too good to hurry mints"

    They certainly last - I still have a Sony which I paid £40 for second hand about 6 years ago and other than being big and heavy it works fine. P xxx
