Re: do you remember.....?
So the men prefer the masculine version ending in 'O'
Two of us ladies know it by the feminine ending 'A'

There's a terribly rude joke, just waiting to be told here, but I don't think it should be me that does it.

I suppose it's possible if the typesetter/compositor was female.

Don't think so, the example shown was from 1953/54, and the very same ad was still running on the cover of 1960 programmes (obviously, the Melbo's owner believed in the power of advertising!). I've seen a fair few examples from various seasons and it's always shown as Melbo. Reckon if it was a printer's error, it would have been corrected at some point over the intervening six years!
