Sir Creep 7,012 Posted February 7, 2016 (edited) I expect most entries to be totally obscure to those on the other side of The Pond. I suppose TV and radio adverts can be posted, but I'm thinking more TV.Her name unknown to me until today, Mary Fiumara was the mother in the Prince Soaghetti advert that ran on American TV often from about 1973-83. Everyone knew that 'In the north end of Boston, Wednesday is Prince spaghetti day.' Her 'ANTHONY' yelled out the window was as pervasive in pop culture as 'Where's the beef?!' would be years later.Anyway, Ms Fiumara dead at 88.SChttp://northendwaterfront.com/2016/02/obituary-mary-fiumara-of-bostons-north-end-prince-pasta-commercial-mother/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook Edited February 7, 2016 by Paul Bearer Post merged Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lard Bazaar 3,687 Posted February 8, 2016 I don't need to name my car. It is simply 'The Scenic'. A lean, green loving machine of absolute POWER. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But this explains why when I went into M&S yesterday (a rare event) I was confronted by a large display of toy Paddingtons. A simpering staff member was hovering, clutching a Paddington, ready to waylay me but I avoided her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I bought it, I told the salesman 'I can't believe I'm buying a brown vehicle' cuz I think it's a horrific colour (white being the worst unquestionably), to which he informed me 'it's not brown, it's called 'Golden Bronze', which basically sealed the deal.
