In a previous existence, Murray Walker - voice of BBC Motorsport - used to be an advertising copywriter. He is responsible for the slogan "Opal Fruits, made to make your mouth water."

Have you any more strange but true facts?

Murray is often mistaken for having invented the famous slogan "A Mars a day helps you work rest and play": "[it] was something that I administered, but I never invented it. I'll tell you how it got ascribed to me. It got put into an obituary file, maybe all of my obituary files, and I can't get rid of it. It's amazing the way it sticks."[3]
