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.

  1. 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?

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

  6. 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.
