Do 'ave a Dubonnet. [Link] I remember this well. Oh dear, I'm older than I pretend to be. Gin and Dubonnet was the Queen Mother's favourite tipple as I recall. Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

There was an advert, I would guess in the 80’s or thereabouts and I’m sure it was for ketchup. It featured an accident prone husband walking into the kitchen where his family were. All sorts of slapstick humour then followed. Ketchup everywhere. It was hilarious. Anyone else remember it? I’d love to find some archive footage of it if any exists.
