Walter Thompson archive in 1989 for my father's 70th birthday. He produced all these ads, thought of the Nimble balloon idea, and came up with the line, 'Mr Kipling bakes exceedingly good cakes'. Sorry for the plethora of Nimble ads, but the collection was more for his own interest than for public consumption. In sequence: Ribena - with a very young me!

Finally there's an old b/w Mothers Pride ad shot on the hill above Frithsden in Hertfordshire, half a mile from where I grew up.
