I had hair when a lot of these were written.  Though not a full head of hair, admittedly.

These two posters ran as teasers for a week before the hidden messages were revealed...

The first of these was for a fun run; the second ran in the programme at a NABS boxing evening.  The photo came from an incident which had happened the month before.

Pork Farms 1988

Pork Farms 1998*

Ah, the posters they wouldn't let us run.  'Don't be a salad tosser' was one headline they turned down.  And 'Stick this in your hole' never appeared on the pump nozzles at petrol stations either.  Still, at least we got these through - though we weren't allowed to say 'arse'...

St Bruno*

These appeared on the actual packs rather than in press or print.  (This was shortly after tobacco advertising had been banned.)

I was one of the jury members that year.  But after some outspoken remarks about the judging process - which found their way into the D&AD Annual - I wasn't invited back again.  Funny, that.
