Above is a recent complaint made to the (UK) Advertising Standards Authority about this commercial:
The complaint wasn't upheld.
Funnily enough, this Flake spot from the 1960s is considerably more erotic (they even repeat the sensual oral bit, just in case you missed it the first time):

Very funny. Never noticed that before.
But why High Wycombe? Thought it was always Tumbridge Wells. Or have times changed?
Being a long term resident of that bastion of commuter-land, I would hope we are more open minded!
Anyway, surely Belfast is a more likely candidate, given RTE.

That made me laugh out loud. In a quiet office.
Jason, you bastard...
Classic.

Amazing find from the 60s. And that complaint was just wishful thinking.

Jon -good point, amendment made.
I wasn't born here, ok? ;-)
Will -comments like that are what makes blogging worthwhile.

And when are you DJing again? I'm based in the capital now - keen for some good tuneage..

I think that flake ad in the 80s with the girl in the bath triggered the onset of puberty for me.
That or the Kylie I should be so lucky video.
