An English TV ad, circa 1983, where various men would present their plastic
to a succession of beautiful women who would reply, as above, in a posh,
alluring manner.

And then, one day, BBC2's Not the Nine O'Clock News had Pamela Stephenson
say...

'American Express? - that'll do nicely and would you like to rub my tits?',

and the ad was *never* seen again, lol!

Dunno, but remember a green monster came out of a pool and she flashed
her protuberances, lol - wish that was on YouTube!

that.

I'm fairly sure that that one was Benny Hill, and that the "language" was
supposed to be German.

Another example of Hill's German involved a German lady writing to the
