Blip-Blip, N.C. The anti-smoking campaigners do not intend to relax. They will monitor the screens for any attempt by cigarette firms to slip the names of their brands onto TV.

Harrods hired pretty girls in boaters and D Day sashes to counsel customers. Tea towels, mugs, pens and pencils, plastic shopping bags, watch straps and playing cards came out imprinted with conversion tables.
