The John Smiths adverts with Arkwright. My late uncle in Nottingham used to dress like him.

The Courage best adverts with the professional cockneys. I can remember when Courage best was still brewed by Courage and was a fine pint from the hand pump. East End pubs now are often full of hipsters. No more cockneys and Muslims don't drink.

Re: Classic TV Ads That I Miss
Can any adverts from the UK match good, old fashioned, crass American beer commercials?

"Where's the beef?" became a political campaign line for Walter Mondale in 1984.
He beat Gary Hart in the Democratic primaries. "Where's the beef?" was aimed at Hart.
Mondale subsequently got squashed by Ronald Reagan in the general election.
In 2016, someone saying "Where's the beef?" would be heralded as a return to a mythical Golden Age of politics.

Rushdie also came up with "Naughty, but nice!"
The Texan bars were great, lasted forever and justified the "sure is a mighty chew." Sadly, I think I was the only one who liked them.
