Ascott - I can't remember whether they made stuff for tennis or squash.
4711 - The cologne or perfume commercial usually come on before a movie back in the 1970s (if I recall correctly).
Panther - Thin sole sport shoes.
Funland and Yippee - Magazines for primary school kids. The magazines will usually consist of short stories and I think pen pal columns. Used to read them when in primary school.

The louder and sharper the "ping' the better and more sey bin.....
Real connoisseurs own the Chinese lacquer instead of the common gold and silver.
Topping up the lighter fluid and changing the flint and cleaning was an artform in itself.....machiam like a gun buff strip weapon and do maintenance

Ascott was local brand and a Patrick rip off....2 short colored stripes at the ankle area was signature logo of Patrick brand.

Ascott was mainly for squash. Now they are serviced apartments. :wink:

I think Student World and Student Pal predates Funland and Yippee. Nice feature stories on Pontianak.
