The kids in the Linda Bellingham ads grew up during the run and in the case of the girl, Alison ,seem to have had a few too many extra dinners :shock: .

Im must admit as a young teen I had quite a thing for "Katie"
but then I also had the hots for Ms Dowton who taught the 4th years
at Bridge Grammar in Wealdstone (She was the first teacher I EVER saw wearing for what was in 1963 a miniskirt ....gasp
