Peter Simon

If anyone said that in my office they'd be subject to disciplinary action. In fact at the department Christmas party last year somebody said something inappropriate and was immediately suspended, and subsequently sacked. I work for the civil service and it was classed as still being on duty.

PS can't deny it as it was said on camera, I doubt if anyone would bother making a 'deep fake' video of him!

I was so , I couldn't believe my ears, does nobody say anything to him?

His ‘banter’ is completely out of place in the society of today. Now, I generally loathe the woke-ridden society of today, but I equally dislike men in their sixties wheeling out the sort of repartee you‘d have got stick from Colin Crompton for using on stage at The Wheeltappers and Shunters Social Club in 1975. He gets away with it because of the very nature of shopping television of this type, with an older to elderly audience more used to hearing jokes about slipping up the back passage and you’ve lost - drop your trousers, end of a very rotten pier show act‘s gags. If I was working there and he used me as a press-ganged stooge for one of his wretched double-meanings, I’d tell him to go fu…himself, but I assume these floor people are young and want to get a foot on the ladder on television. If Simon is seen as some sort of great asset and seller by the management, you’d go along with his ‘humour’ wouldn’t you?

Well he and a few others have certainly taken tjc to the lowest form of wit(if you can call it that)and definitely dumbed it down just like the other Ideal World that went bust.
Now it appears bouncing bunny is leaping over from Shop Extra,what ever happened to that
South Africa, Mike of the Masons,that strange woman from Ireland and her jack of all trades V of a husband.
Expect My name is Den and the Creepy Ones to appear soon,it’s like a cult from mid west america

The king of "pretendy" experts, the man who knows nothing about anything, the one and only Peter Vollebregt.

You will probably find the people behind the cameras are only 20 somethings, and will go along with whatever

Not long before we see Peter van Vinzoezsereepointvone, the Ideal World Antiques Technology expert, taking us through one of the highlights of the 1997 Dash Cam Show at Earl's Court - the clockwork car screen APS camera kit with MP1 and Motorola Brick capabilities.

You forgot the luxury Bonded Leather & Rattan Furniture specialist. Won't be long till they feature when the new studio opens.

Surprised they haven't had him on with the ceramic heaters yet, this is the time of year for the dire winter weather forecasts that IW were only too helpful in warning us of.

Found a really fuzzy recording of one of Peter's shows. I think he needs a Joke Box Jury today as many of his jokes would not get voted in!

The advantage TJC has is there is no Peter Simon and no Sally there must be some way of shutting his mouth

They sell some super duper duct tape on IW, think that might work.

In spite of the 1950's calling and asking him to go back, he's been getting away with this for years - there were posts on here years ago where posters were aghast at what he'd said on screen at IW so he has form for this kind of behaviour. What always amazed me was that he'd often say dubious things before the watershed, but there never seemed to be any comebacks and it was repeato ditto the following evening. You can only wonder why he's not been reprimanded for his 'hilarious' humour. He was always telling everyone about his long and illustrious experience on television and I would have thought he was older than 60, he seems to have been around forever.
