    Found for this the other day searching for Pyramid Building Society Ads..

    Persons of 'a certain age' will remember this from an ABC TV kids school program about the making of TV ads.

    The (REALLY CATCHY) song was written by Rory ODonnahue & Grahame Bond (of Aunty Jack fame).

    Check out the size of the bank (compared to the pokey little affairs of today)

    Just thought I'd share :cool:

    From memory, there were a lot of troubles keeping Farrah in shot, in focus and in sync with the singer where she turns and walks past the camera singing "I'll soon be flying..." ;)

    Target savings? Savings? SAVINGS?

    You mean they weren't marketing debt as desirable but were offering SAVINGS incentives?

    *gasps and falls over*

    The Big Red W was sometimes referred to as "Rampant Saveloys" by unkind executives of other banks.
