Alex Knowles,we know that you read this forum but quiet of latešŸ¤”. Wonder why?..

Anyway,why not give Mike/ Peter et al some ā€˜feedbackā€™. Tell them to cut out the bullšŸ’© and just tell it like it is. And what good value we are (well not me) getting for our Ā£9.99.

Not ā€˜uncomparingā€™ items etc. You may find sales increase as folks will get wise to all this bo***cks. A sales person telling the truth would gain utmost respect.

Instead we are watching just to have a laugh and you know how social media can garner lots of views.

No harm in flogging summat at Ā£9.99 and saying itā€™s good value,and yes ā€˜similarā€™ products can be 3 times this. We know that you only get what you pay for and some people are happy to take a chance at Ā£9.99

Just telling it as it is Alex!

Channel is getting worse, every item is a inspiration off, and presenters seem to be getting more angry

Alex would say he is just a guest,

Perfect for those who want all the downsides to a cordless vac, like small tank, flimsy plastic, and small motor PLUS the downsides to a corded: being tethered to a wall.

Henry is tethered to the wall in the front room, and 'he' goes all around the downstairs, up the stairs and in all the bedrooms without unplugging him. He's a good boy. So the only time cords are a problem is when you cut the grass. Otherwise, no worries. :)
 
Pity about Captain Knowles no longer contributing. I really enjoyed the posts that he made. He seemed an honest, pleasant and as transparent a person as he could be here. Heā€™s stuck his head above the trenches when others would not. He was the kind of officer you would happily go over the top for at the Somme in 1916. Particularly if he was holding a loaded Enfield service revolver to your temple at the time.

I suppose he is in a difficult position, because if he fraternises here (a haddock that is hardly complementary about his work colleagues and the station employing them), I suppose some would be none too pleased.

I think he would make a very good shopping television presenter. Given the right environment he would be honest and fair with the viewers. Unfortunately, heā€™d need to find another channel to do that. It would be awful to see him having to read out those ghastly inaccurate and unsourced price comparisons, and peddle the rest of the BS that he would be expected to do. Stick to pillows and dinosaur heads, mate. At least you can be your own person in that area of selling.

I saw Wing Commander Knowles with Dirty Peter today - he did seem to be trying to reign in the wilder claims.
It was a mattress topper and he said something like "people will say you were selling a memory foam or other topper the other week, now promoting this one."
He then made some reasonable claims about the properties of the down and feather topper, and why it did something different from the others.

Naturally, Pedro was more interested in forecasting an ice age being on the horizon and how cold the mattress was in his damp hovel.
Whether the topper is any good or not, it doesn't heat up.

Ultimately, Knowles has no option but to go along with the gibberish spouted by Pedro and Of-the-Masons.
 
Procedureā€¦Procedureā€¦.Procedureā€¦Always a term reminding me that was the kind of thing Granny would say in 1972 hushed tones, hand over side of face, when recounting having her haemorrā€¦haemorā€¦er..piles being exploded under local anaestheticā€¦ Do people really say ā€˜PROCEDUREā€™ any longer, other than Walter? And what exactly was his ā€˜procedureā€™? You know..the on Attendance Allowance Higher Rate, penniless, ailments ridden, one bar fire in a damp ridden bedsit OAP, but on first name terms with his ā€˜procedureā€™ surgeons at the golf club? A se x change? A penishe extension? A nose job? An upper lips enhancement? All four? God knows. In fact..God doesnā€™t want to know. God doesnā€™t want to honk up his Fray Bentos pie this eveningā€¦.
 
Tat alertā€¦From a man in a cardigan Val Doonican would have burnedā€¦Let me tells yerā€¦I was picked up by the Metrocomicals, or was I swung around by the gonadsicus when I was told this afternoon WE ā€˜AVE A WATCH OF ALL WATCHES coming up this eveningā€¦The Westclox Submarinerā€¦.Have I told yer before? I feels music, I doā€¦ Itā€™s a gift from ā€˜eavenā€™s aboveā€¦

Mike trying to inform us how to educate kids. Not letting them just play computer games etc..so here he is with a push button device for kids doing just that!
What a to**er!

My advice to kids,firstly,would be not to watch shopping telly Mike,especially people of your ilk.

And finally he keeps saying to call and press ā€˜hashā€™

Well Mike you should be saying to press ā€˜TRASHā€™
 
Iā€™ve seen some tacky low rent goods starts on these shows, but that plastic set of four wheels (the Ctunt Remote Control Star) with the body removed to save money, is one of the biggest pieces of hapless dustbin fillers I have ever seen on there. Tell the punters itā€™s FABULOUS as much as you like, you Beautiful Bald Fella - it ISNā€™Tā€¦.

Who the hell is he talking to? ..ā€my friendsā€..what? He does live in another world,he really does

He lives in another world, Pedro lives in a damp hovel.
The increase in the energy price cap must be a real blow to Dirty Peter with his old central heating.

Whereas, I imagine Of-the-Masons being down his local boasting about a super-dooper heater he wired up for him and the goddess.
"Yes gang, it's luvvvvveryl, smokin' hot! Bit like me, my lovelies. It's absolutely roasting, and I mean roasting" - meanwhile, the group of people at the bar drift away before he comments on their watch.
