Re: Dodgy Adverts

My then seven old then weedy brother, saved up his pocket money after seeing the Charles Atlas advert in the newspaper. The one about not getting sand kicked in your eyes, and therefore impressing the girls.
At the time l remember it was quite expensive, and all he got was a flimsy pamphlet and a giant rubber band. Sand was still kicked, and l think he was twelve before he got a girlfriend.
