Esso Blue






The other day Mrs H and I both realised we remember paraffin ads. Can't recall what triggered the memory but blimey - that dates us.

I can just about remember it. My older brothers used to sing the refrain, and the cartoon seemed vaguely familiar.

Must be from around 1960?

I remember the Esso Blee Dooler!

Who could forget "smuts get in your eyes"? From perhaps 5/6 years later?

Sam - yes round about 1960 I think, or maybe late 1950s.

Jannie and microdave - I don't remember the Esso Blee Dooler at all. Total blank, although I have quite a few of those these days.

Graeme - I could - no memory of that either. Oh dear another blank.

Ed - phew - I remember all those and I'm all of a year older than you.
