Cillit Bang: Bang, and the dirt is gone!
By now many British people will have been exposed to those wonderful opening lines "Hi there, i'm Barry Scott, and i'm here to talk to you about Cillit Bang...' But just who is Barry Scott? Where does he come from? Is Cillit Bang really made from the souls of small children? Why the name 'Cillit'?
This, and many more questions shall be answered in the great....

That name always makes me do a double take.
I'm pleased that you sigged that, Mikeus. One of my more inspired closing messages, if I do say so myself.

I have Cillit Bang under the sink. I can’t stand any of those nauseating cleaning commercials though.

There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

Very good....I use a herbal facewash meself
But seriously, Barry Scott and Cillit Bang were (I guess) going for the so-bad-its-good advert vibe. Unfortunately they went right round the clock, through so-bad-its-good and back round into its-bad again. The first few times I saw it I was waiting for the joke at the end...
I reckon Barry must be married to that woman in the pink jumpsuit who accosts a mother in a shopping mall, pours beetroot on her white t shirt, ("she's worried. I'm not") and then washes it in whatever her miracle product is (which, I note, is also very pink and may simply be Cillit Bang under another name) , to the not-at-all-well acted delight of the mother and passers by when it comes out white again.
