I can't remember Rothmans Cambridge at all Neil... Only their King Size...
Did they do a Benson and Hedges Oxford to go with it?
And were the packets designed by Pininfarina?
Yes see where you are going with those Jim. John Player could have done 20 Magnettes, or even 20 Siam Di Tella's just to join in.
Tab packet names always had to drag up some sort of class and sophistication. They chose places lilke Pall Mall, Strand, Piccadilly, Grosvenor, Mayfair etc. You never saw a Benson and Hedges Consett or a Rothmans Merthyr Tydfil!
Regards Neil

I was watching an episode of The Professionals the other day when Bodie and Doyle stopped off for an ice cream. Remarkably quick service from the ice cream man in the converted Mini - Bodie shouted the refreshments order as he got out of The Capri (reg: OWC 827W), and by the time he got to the window the man had already prepared the three strawberry cones and was handing them over ! 60p all in they cost
Bodie and Doyle fighting crime with an ice cream - LWT. fair use

Top quality observation there! Love it!
I note your "interesting link" provided on the French Cars in Films thread and offer up this link which I noticed on the surprisingly interesting Lancaster Insurance website...

Another shot of the same scene - and what's the car between Bodie and the woman ?
I am going to put forward my guess with a link once again to the wondefully interesting "Content" found down the side of the Lancaster Insurance website
43 years ago, I encountered a car that I genuinely thought belonged in the world of Star Trek or Doctor Who; i.e. the front windows and the door locks were operated at the press of a button.........

..and on Rocket day one of the most popular Ice lollies has to be Zoom
Zoom was introduced in April/May 1963 as part of the Steve Zodiac Fireball XL5 TV programmes.
It was Lyons Maid first 6d ice lolly. Shaped like a rocket, with lime, lemon and strawberry flavours place in horizontal stripes of colour. Picture cards put in wrappers for first time
I got David Beckham aftershave a couple of years ago terrible cheap smell it was donated to the charity shop. I bet it cost way more than the Brut. I still like and use old spice aftershave it's been around forever still smells the same. Was there one called English Leather years ago?

I can't imagine anything made by Horlicks can possibly be performance enhancing unless it's to enhance sleep
Bit late to the party here, but he should already know this. One of the greats, I'm sure you know, was also asthmatic and frequently came under scrutiny for salbutamol... Miguel Indurain, a childhood hero of mine lol (I believe he also had, as a result of his severe asthma I think and the lifelong medication, 5 litre lungs!)
