The Presenters!

Right! I'm defending Anne, I love a Glasgow accent and Strato, your comment was harsh

. I don't mind the Northern Ireland accent, Mr CC is from the Midlands so a Brummie I'm fine with. Scousers I can deal with. Don't mind Craig and his Bristol accent. Ophelia is terrible with her finks and yeah's and likes but she's a nice girl. Justine that does the JM is just lovely, she could sell me a spanner.

An accent I can't understand is someone from Aberdeen - and I'm Scottish. All the others I'm fine with but the South East is a bit fink and fought. If our emails here had sound on I'm sure we'd all laugh at each others' accents. Mine's the worst, mixture of Edinburgh, Lancashire, London and Midlands. Work that one out!

What has happened to Ann dawson, I haven't seen her for months?

I am one of them - but in the main it is because she keeps saying “you know”, which wynds me right on up. I shout no I don’t chuffing know!

I like Miceal a lot and also the Ester Lauder lady as well (I think she has more of a Northern Irish accent).

It’s the banal comments that enrage me.

My biggest gripe is that damn Cleeve woman. She would probably be alright if she wasn’t so arrogant

I don't really care how they sound as long as they're a good and thorough presenter who doesn't come out with stupid comments, talk about their families or other irrelevant-to-the-item crap or talk over BAs.

I would also like all the presenters to wear QVC clothes.

Am I looking for unicorns?

Quite a few on here used to complain about Ann Dawson speaking.

Dawson has a pretty accent, but I always find her to be a useless presenter.

Grizelda · Sep 6, 2024

Maybe Dawson has left QVC with none of the hoopla that the long time presenter Alison K. had. Quietly and with dignity.

I like lots of accents, but not mine, have been trying to shake it off for 40 years without success. And no, I am not revealing where it is from lol.

I didn't think AD's accent was Glaswegian, compared with that Scottish comedian for example - - I can't remember his name but nickname is the "big 'something' ".

I often wonder how many sales QVC lose when their viewing audience don’t like the presenting style , voice, demeanour of the presenters and brand ambassadors. For example I might be interested in skinsense if Adele (SBC) was BA and not Cleaver.

Samki · Sep 6, 2024

I have a Devonshire accent, but did live in Birmingham for a bit and for a while it was a cross between the two

Silver Fox · Sep 6, 2024

My accent isn't too dissimilar to that of Justine from Julien McDonald. Hope that's not a bad thing

She was on TV this a.m she has a lovely Welsh accent.

Billy Connolly - - The Big Yin (whatever a Yin is???)

To me Billy Connolly does not come across as a Glaswegian - some Glasgow accents I have trouble understanding. Billy has a more rounded off Scottish accent

which I happen to like

I once worked with a woman who was from Ireland. She had no discernable Irish accent, but after drinking a few, it was unmistakable. She wore beautiful Irish linen dresses and suits in lovely colours, mostly pastels.

Yin is "one". I think Billy Connolly has manufactured his accent a bit over the years but he is a very funny man.

I remember sitting at a bus stop one Saturday with a couple of pensioners. A man came up and started talking, the two women looked very wary. But, I recognized he had a very heavy Glasgow accent. He was looking for an ATM. I was able to tell him there was one around the corner.

I don't mind Elaine from Estée Lauder's accent, but I do mind the slightly fembot nature of her. She's genuinely quite scary, in a way that's hard to explain.

I can imagine a whole Green Room full of identikit Elaines, all clutching 'Bronze Goddess' and marching towards you with a fixed stare...

Clothescloth · Sep 7, 2024

I find Elaine a little strange, too. A younger version of Gloria Hunniford! She has a weird square shaped hairstyle, I wish she’d bouff the top up a bit!

Linwood · Sep 7, 2024

I don't think Elaine would like a hair on her head out of place.

Maybe the pensioners thought the man was going to mug them!

Elaine, is the way Estée Lauder dress and have trained their staff for years.

Interesting - there's something very old fashioned about it all. Like those women you used to get on the Clarins etc. counters in Debenhams - they had a very specific 'look' to them.
