Hi there, you might be wondering why this thread was made but I feel like this might be a deep investigation and rabbit hole to dig into. If you’re wondering why I am randomly interested about these sets of adverts let’s me give you some info. When I use to live in Bristol (ever since I was born) I always remember these little funny ads for a small shop based on selling carpets called Bristol Carpets. For some reason, the intro always gives me some good flashbacks to when my parents would drive around the area with the radio on for traffic news on GWR/Heart Bristol and it would mostly play on every ad break. Some people use to hate it but I know there’s a fare few within the city of Bristol who loved the ads.
for the only found radio ads I’ve found for Bristol Carpets is this only upload when they’ve announced their new store in Shepton Mallet: youtu.be/6NRH-M38eRo. Iirc, that store opened around the 2010s and I think closed around the mid 2010s. Hopefully we could find more of these adverts. I also know that Local Musician, Kid Carpet sampled one of the ads from 2005: youtu.be/nzz4Sje3Hdg. I could try and email him to see if he still has the recording of that advert.
