just for info Proctor and Gamble were the first to advertise their products during the breaks and later sponsored the Amos and Andy radio programme in the 1920s. Soon afterwards other similar shows (and soap manufacturers) followed suit, and a critic writing in 1938 began referring to them generally as "soaps". The word "opera" was then borrowed from the popular "horse operas" (a term for cowboy films) of the 1930s. Thus the beginning of soaps! The reference to Scunner's avatar was that Cif is one of the leading brands of Pg's
(not chimps tea parties) rivals. So well done! Hope you all had fun.

Cif is actually a Unilever leading brand not Proctor & Gamble

Unfortunately bewva you misquoted scorcher.
