Behind the scenes
In 1976, Jon Pertwee appeared in a public information film for the Green Cross Code that introduced the mnemonic SPLINK:
- First find a Safe place to cross, then stop
- Stand on the Pavement near the kerb
- Look all round for traffic and listen
- If traffic is coming, let it pass
- When there is No traffic near, walk straight across the road
- Keep looking and listening for traffic while you cross
