Mike with the battery charger is sent a question. He starts with “I’ve got to be honest”.
Why change the habit of a lifetime Mike of the Plonkers. ? Just carry on as normal.

You will have us all confused if you start telling the truth. We will need counselling !

When salespeople say "I'll be honest with you" I always think "as opposed to what? Lying?

I know its an expression, and in normal conversation it's fine. But when someone who is trying to sell me something says it, my Bulls%it meter goes sky high...
 
This corded vac he’s selling. He couldn’t bring himself to say ‘corded’ so he didnt finish the sentence by saying “this cor…vac with 5 ( he should say ‘corded’ and 5.4metres of cord)..powered by the National Grid!
Whoopee! Not the National Grid! Sounds ultra powerful then…will probably suck up all the carpet and Peter VonVac..

My flabber is gasted. Nuff said.
Had enough ,now to calm down with a bit of snooker. He gives me headache
 
I don't like Pedro's selling techniques. He is increasingly desperate, banging his hand down on the nearest thing to him. He's saying we should get this air fryer coming up even if we don't want one. At least Mike is light hearted, and makes a joke out of most things, unlike Peter who pushes to make a sale as if his life depended on it.

Who's house has a tacky gold stiletto on the mantelpiece? (apart from a hovel in Cheshire).

Back off, got it?!?

Ok it wasn't my house, however I was in a house back in the early 90s that had real stilettos on the mantelpiece.

If you must know it was a massage parlour called Climatic Moments. I think the owner was heavily into the environment. I went in there to have a foot massage after walking up (and back down) Ben Nevis. All completely above board. For some reason they had red lightbulbs everywhere, I think they must have been early adopters of red light therapy.

I'll never forget Big Bertha, she had amazing hands and my feet thank her to this day ...

These presenters are getting really angry lately.

Paul was selling a Shacket, He said what kind of name Is this, I expect it’s for the Karens, Who decided to vote Labour.

Later on he was selling Headphones. In a couple of colours, for which he went on a rant about Genders

That's outrageous! I agree these new names are ridiculous, like shacket and coatigan, but all it needed was a lighthearted comment. How that led to comments/rants about voting and gender I can't imagine. And for the record, who 'Karen', or any of us, vote for is not the business of angry selly telly presenters.

And personally, I don't like the use of the insult 'Karen', a "white middle class American woman who is entitled or excessively demanding" (definition according to Wikipedia). I'm not called Karen and I would hate being judged because of my name.
 
They (the Presenters) should direct their vocal frustrations on-air to a selling strategy by design that misleads the customers. Certainly on price comparisons and essentially so with scaremongering and inaccurate descriptions of goods in general sales pitches. Not their role to make political points, either. It also turned my stomachs to hear ‘Herself’ talking about respecting the Fallen on Remembrance Day. Learn to respect the customers first, so their rights are respected, and people in general. What the Fallen fell for.

If I were a cynic I would suggest that her comment was more for the benefit of the audience who they assume (hope) are of the older generation and would appreciate it more (and hopefully would buy loads more overpriced crapola from them).
