  2. I’ve lived here since 1978 (I lived inside my mum for a bit before that) and besides being free to find out, I have no idea what the number refers to…

  6. I would say Churchill dog and wait for the catchphrase…

  15. May be showing my age here, but shout “hoots mon there’s juice loose aboot this hoose” and see if they do the song and dance

  23. 118…24 7… Give them a call, it’s directory heaven!

  28. Blue cartoon phone says FOR LOANS FROM 800 TO 15000 POUNDS CALL LOMBARD DIRECT NOW ON 0800 2 15000 THATS 0800 2 15000 TODAY

    Also the clever one with the Owl that sounds like an owl – 0800 282820

  31. With these sort of things I like to imagine there’s some jingle creator retired, sitting on a beach in the Caribbean, drinking Pina Coladas, after dropping that one 5 second banger.

  34. I thought that number was Hastings Insurance
    As in battle of Hastings 1066

  36. Does anyone remember the Chelsea Building Society advert from back in the day. I remember so many lines from that advert like “Sounds interesting but I’m bussssssy… I don’t want the hassle.”

  37. Don’t tell the Americans what happens if you buy one……

  38. The only way is to say:
    See it,
    Say it,

    And wait for the response.

  42. Wasn’t there also an owl one and the number was 282820?

  43. You can further narrow down certain people’s ages with things like Belly’s Gonna Get Ya or You’ve Been Tango’d

  45. I don’t know why…

    0 9 0 double one Ten Fifty ten has stuck with me from childhood. I think it was the number for an itv kids show.

  46. For older brits try to me and wait for the to you
