I think it was for Scotrail?

Sure do. I remember it well.

Im sure there was a series of these adverts. Another one was two posh women; one would say "Kelvinside" and the
other would say "Morningside". This would go on for about 30 secs while they both got angrier.

Can't remember where his patch was now (outside Queen's Street possibly?), but his cry was "Eyems. Eyems. Eyems. Eyems. Eyems. Eyems." very rapidly over and over again. Very odd.

back in 1986 we were decanted to another scheme as our house was being renovated by the council and a pal of mines dad used to sell the dundee evening telegraph and came round the scheme at the same time every night he shouted tellll but from the distance it sounded like help

Good grief - not allowed to shout in the streets to advertise a paper ? One of my fondest memories is getting dragged around town when a youngster and wondering why these people were shouting
" Flooooooobadobba Wonka"

At least - that is what it sounded like to me

Bill n Ben sold the Evening Times before their big break on the BBC

I like that word "decanted" moved like a fine wine
Ma mother was decanted once too.

My favourite was the guy who was outside Marks and Spencers in Argyle Street for years, who would shout 'Evening' in a slow, deep voice, then bark the word 'TIMES!' over and over again. I remember walking past one day when he must have had a cold, or a sore throat, and he kept going all high-pitched on the word 'times',

I seem to remember reading (probably in the Times) that his name was Vince Ferguson.
