The prize that always made me laugh was the speedboat.

Did anyone ever win it, or was it (seemingly always) just the fish knives and bale of towels?

He probably means texts. My late grandmother who passed away in 2022 in her 90s always talked about getting someone's email number. She meant address but never really did technology but it always amused me. But yeah digital skipping ropes, another pointless wish.com item

I understand you could have a cash alternative.

Quite a few times the speedboat was won. The winners were always offered a cash equivalent certain prizes, including speedboats, so I recall reading.

The most frustrating scenario must have been getting 101 and instead of the Talbot Samba, before you was a complete kitting out of a living room or a kitchen. Watch the faces drop.

One of us should text them asking for the email address to contact presenters. That won't get read out...

In bright yellow, like its cousin the Sunbeam?

"Part of my job is to be accurate". Not my words, but the words of MikeoftheMasons. Is the rest of his job being a lying shyster? Answers on a postcard please

Cheap perfumes 'inspired' by well known and trusted brands. No thanks...

I think they also gave away Austin Metros

Dirty Pedro in a frenzy tempting the viewers with the lowest ever price for a Willie Hunt and a bundle of tea clothes for 4.99.
He couldn't remember Mike Reid's name - some drivel about Runaround.

Now offering a smart watch "it was 85 pound....our price on a clearance 7.49...........................first of four flexis".
He's claimed it was 99 dollars and then said it was 99 Euros.

An utter shambles

If he bothered to read the box, it's David Lian, not David Lane. He hasn't drawn breath yet. Fancy putting him on the graveyard shift, now flogging cheapo tea towels, he loves a great tea cloth, he must have mentioned it at least ten times. Definitely downed a few cans of Red Bull.

He had it as David Gray, then David Lane, then Daniel Lane.
A flurry of "not onlys" about the things the watch claims to do.

Now frantically flicking through tea towels and brandishing kitchen utensils.
Even by his own standards, this is quite something

Classic Dirty Peter - his "friend" Violet texted in about airfrying sausages.

"Slap my sausage and get it done.......just chew on it...." he smirked.

Wouldn't be surprised if the men in white coats haul him off at some point.

Muriel has just bought the airfryer according to Peter...

We can but hope. Maybe a few of us should get white coats and do it ourselves.

Don’t know if anyone else is watching Simon Says at the moment but he’s given the air fryer he’s selling every brand name except it’s actual one. It’s by Tokit (who?) but good ol’ Pete’s been calling it Tocker/Ticket/Ticker etc, etc.
Oh, and apparently “loads of ya ‘ave been texting in’ to say thank goodness it isn’t black (it’s mint green). Yep, green air fryers - who knew there was such a gap in the market…not!

Pedro has gone completely ga-ga trying to describe some knock-off bog water perfumes.

Names tumbling from his gob - none of them relating to the ones shown on screen "chanel, gargulin.....this is the eh, oud, frankincense and myrrh.....not only, right.......ignore the price, right.....creed of El Homme chanel......Garley absoul....would cost you 200-odd pound."

He's on something.......has to be.

So glad you posted this, HughTwo. I’ve got this clown on as background noise and I (genuinely) found myself putting my palm to my forehead listening to him. The fragrance spiel was a salad of tossed words - like an absurd comedy sketch. If anyone was in the market for Chanel Oud de Perfam (!) of a Creed inspired Mountain Dew not only because of it’s Versace Blue and bergamot, right fragrance then one of these £9.99 wonders will be right up your strasse.

ASA who? Advertising Standards my ass.

I've never heard of that brand. When I bought mine a couple of years ago (I knew very little about them then) I bought it in Robert Dyas. They have plenty of brands and there are always really good offers. I just bought a basic Tower one, I'm on my own so wasn't sure how big I'd need it. I've still got the same one and still really happy with it. Next time I'd probably get one with a bigger capacity though but no rush. I think I only paid around £35. And who knew that green was the must have air fryer colour!
