Year of birth

[edit]

Born 1933, not 1934. I checked on findmypast.co.uk and his birth was registered in the first quarter (January-March) 1934, which given his December birthdate means 1933. Quis separabit? 01:22, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have researched this man extensively and the most reliable sources indicate he was born December 3, 1934. We should not change his birthdate based on a record that references birthdays by quarter instead of a specific date and then back his birthdate up a month before the quarter even started. That makes no sense at all. Encyclopedia.com and other reliable resources indicate he was born in 1934. I see some sites have changed his birthday also, but those are sites that can be edited by anyone, like Wikipedia, and they are likely getting their information from Wikipedia.

Commercial Advertisement

[edit]

I cannot find a source to cite, but I believe Mr. Coster is featured in an advertisement for Coca-Cola, in which he is in the common room of a retirement home and is offered a bottle of Coca-Cola. "Never had one," he observes and, after sampling it, wonders "What else haven't I done?" The remainder of the commercial shows him telephoning an old love to profess his feelings, telling a young man "I'm your real dad", visiting a nudist colony, getting a tattoo, and so on. My memory tells me that it was one of the SuperBowl commercials, but again, I cannot find a proper citation. Although the commercial is posted on YouTube (URL blocked by Wikipedia), the posting has no further details. T-BlackWolf (talk) 01:08, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
