Persil, Rinso, Sunlight soap, Carter's little liver pills, Hardy's, (take Hardy's & oh the relief) & Rawleighs products. The 'Rawleigh's man' used to travel around country areas selling their products & back then, almost every house would have at least one Rawleighs product, usually their ointment which came in a flat tin, decorated in blue & silver/white swirls, which used to fascinated me for some reason.
Portia faces life was a radio serial - there were others, but the only other one I can remember was Doctor Paul - I think they were on of a morning but there were others on in the evenings.
