Probably the man who's designs had the biggest influence on your driving life since the 90's but most will never have heard of him.

Marcello Giandini I salute you sir and your works. Thanks for everything and RIP.

Another 70’s legend gone - Steve Harley of Cockney Rebel fame. Apparently lung cancer at 73.

Loved him & their music and they were a mainstay of my childhood. RIP


Wonder if him above said “Come Up & See Me (Make Me Smile)”?

Thought he had a load of great songs, but I know which one you mean

But it wasn’t just that one song, as great as it was.


Judy Teen made No. 5.
Mr Soft, No. 8.
Here Comes The Sun, No.10.
Mr Raffles, No. 13.

Hence the IF in my post. What was the TV advert Mr Soft was used for in the 80@s ?

Sorry, I misconstrued your "if".

After consulting google, Mr Soft was used for Trebor Softmints.

Having seen the advert on YouTube, I vaguely remember it.
