Remember this Yellow Pages ad? That kid had a cool dad, didn't he? It's Mr Bennett, the janitor from Tony Harts, Take Hart!

Loved this and the others… made when times were, simple, good and respectful… Oh to have a Time Machine..!

French Polishers..

Yeah I remember being furious the kid wasn’t me…as Mr Bennett’s actual son!

Simpler times...take me back

😲 can't believe I missed that as a kid. That's a Chevette HS in the background!
