Oh for the good old days of Ansells Bitter, Mild and Davenports delivered to your door

Or if you were younger, you could also get pop delivered.

Corona or Alpine pop if I remember

[Lizz]

I remember Corona, Alpine sounds familiar. Not a dyed in the wool things were better in the old days advocate by any means, it feels like we did more recycling back then, ie, refundable deposits for bottles.

Masons pop on a Friday. Horse of the year followed by Budgie and a bottle of dandelion and burdock, or American Cream Soda.

Somewhere Pete Doherty is drooling about a cocktail like that.

 Beer at home means Davenports,
That’s the beer, lots of cheer.
The finest malts with hops and yeast,
Turns a snack into a feast.
Straight from brewery to your home,
Why collect, we’ll deliver,
Soon you’ll know why folks all say,
Beer at home means Davenports.

For those of a certain age- that’s today’s musical ear worm for you.

I remember the first "interactive" TV advert being a Davenports ad which was an old fella jumping up and down and yelling "THATS IT! IT'S OVER! WE'VE DONE IT!!!" and running into the pub.  At least I *think* it was a Davenports ad - Like the old fella in the advert I was kind of distracted celebrating our European Cup win at the time

From what I remember he was sat in an armchair with a dog lying on the floor next to him and then he says that and also something like "let's go to the pub" and him and the dog stand up. Been a long time since i've seen but we taped the final and so whenever I used to watch it I watched the advert as well.

The Bulls head at the top of Bishopsgate street is an old Davenports pub and it still has several old adverts around the place. Great food and really nice pub away from the madness of Broad street

In my mind it was just that he got up, turned off the telly, said ‘come on boy’ or something like that and they walked to the pub. The writing then came up, ‘Well done Villa’ I think. I also thought it was M&B.
