Just wow!

Why would anyone choose a man with no front teeth to sell you anything?

Cheers to @michael_dennis for this delicious slice of crud.

    Am reminded of Jasper Carrot’s take on local ads – “Come to our dads fer yer chops”

    You can buy babies, which shop is that?

    Buy Buy Happiness… oh no hang on, we out of stock on that, but we have a great line in astoundingly bad hair, fat, ugly babies and pastel shade dresses.

    Were people able to purchase babies from city centre shopping establishments in the 1980s?

    I probably went to school with that baby.

    I’ve got an SMS from my mom yesterday “Friday Night Dinner was as funny as Fawlty Towers . or one of our family dinners – Love, Mum”. I think that’s a good review (I did miss your show, because I’m travelling . have to check it out later).

    Well are we absolutely certain that his front teeth are missing? It’s quite possible he’s afflicted with suburban capitalistic vampirism.

    I might play the audio when the world ends. If anyone wants to print these revised lyrics and keep them in a safe place until “the day” then look below. Maybe print a few copies for those in your community who may not have access to a printer?

    Bye-bye, groceries
    Bye-bye, meat ‘n’ fish
    (and the Bull Ring Shopping Centre)
    Bye-bye, furniture
    Bye-bye, everything
    (and the Bull Ring Shopping Centre)
    Bye, some clothes for him
    Bye-bye, a dress for me
    Bye-bye for baby too

    (ignore this bit)

    BYE-BYE, EVERYTHING.
