I do feel for anyone working with Pedro trying to get a word in edgeways whilst he bellows about the Dubai luxury fragrances that apparently are worth £30 each?!

Shocking that he can lie so blatantly with no reprimand. He really is just missing a microphone and his goods laid out on a tarpaulin. He’d be perfect on a Saturday morning meat market!
 
And if he did…it would by the best gristly pork sausage he’d minced in 45 years of televisual butchery…The most healthy rancid chicken he’d sold since the last most healthy rancid chicken he’d sold… The finest load of old offal he’d ever presented to the public since the last century. And when asked if he kept dripping, a leer, tongue pushing beef cheek and saying ‘Not if I can help it.’…

hi guys - this i dont know anything about and can’t comment on. All I can tell you is the texts come through to us here on the air and are sent through. I can tell you I have never worked with anyone (on any channel) that has made up a text. We read out the messages as they come through to us. I’m sure you expect me to say that but I can only be honest from my experiences here and at other channels in the past.

I just wanted to respond to some of the messages sent through to me that I had missed - good, bad and silly slippers and say I hope you are all well because you have been supportive in the past. 😊

Thanks for replying. As Duke says, it's probably in the process before it reaches the presenters, but fake texts are being created.
There has been many texts read out, praising products and claiming to have bought products, allegedly from me. Now some could say well maybe there it's another Hammy, which could be a possibility, but for the fact that texts from "Hammy from Aberdeen who likes coastal walks" started a couple of days after i posted a pic on here from Aberdeen beach on one of my morning walks along Aberdeen coastline, if i remember correctly it was Peter while selling one of those mobility canes said Hammy from Aberdeen has just texted that these canes would be really useful on his coastal walks. since then I've allegedly texted on many occasions, usually not very long after I've posted something negative about a presenter or show on here. And these fake texts aren't limited to me, quite a few other forum members have had fake texts created using their forum names and details.

A few passengers lost at sea on that one, then.

A pity really. From what I’ve seen of his acting, it’s pretty good, and he’s appeared in some well known TV series (Eastenders, New Tricks, Crimewatch…Rainbow etc..) Why he ever got sucked into to playing the role of a technology expert and now a vacuum rice Hoover upper on a shopping channel, God only knows? Still, aren’t 90% of professional actors usually always out of work? And it’s easy money, talking unqualified shyte about picking up shyte for a few hundred quid for a few hours work. I doubt you’ll ever find some cheap and nasty generic Chinese stick vacuum in his house. Will not forget him and the Fantasist sitting smirking at one another on that rattan furniture. Flogging it to people hours before the previous version of the channel collapsed. By the Power of The National Grid, please FILTER him off-screen….

Do I hear the shout of “MAN THE LIFEBOATS”?

Thanks, I've never been, I've heard it's very pretty. Easy to get to on Eurostar for us in the south

It’s beautiful. I spent a lovely week there many moons ago. Stayed in a hotel in the city centre. As it’s a circular city used to go 1/4 of town a day sightseeing. Went on the canal cruise a couple of times. We went in early May and the only downside was the flaming mosquitoes so if you’re going that time of year take some antihistamine cream tablets with you. I think I had over 50 bites.🤣

Oh yes. Is a bit of a co-incidence isn't it. And they only use some of our names, other people have heard Muttley although I haven't. They can just about get away with those. But they never say the Duke of Cheese or Gailsgal57 have texted in. Other people who text in manage to use their real names, why wouldn't we?

And when we do text in with genuine questions asking for pertinent details they're not answered. Although they did fall for a few 'Pedro from...' messages that some of us sent.

But maybe there is another Hammy of Aberdeen who goes on walks.

We don't know the procedure for incoming texts. Maybe the crew send them in themselves, my phone plan gives me unlimited texts so it need not cost them any money. Maybe they get friends to send them in. But I'm not comfortable with the comment that it simply doesn't happen. Evidence here suggests that it does.

We're in the City Centre as well. Got a package via Eurostar, both trains and 2 rooms for 2 nights in a 4* star hotel with breakfast, think it was around £370 each. I've always wanted to go there and will probably go back on my own when it's warmer so I will take on board your mosquito comment! We're really going for the Christmassy stuff like the market and don't need to fly. And I have been warned by others that the beer is really strong, thankfully I don't drink beer!

I've sent them many texts, none of them complimentary, but I don't give my name.

He thinks he is so important. You are a shopping TV presenter Peter, people in the entertainment business take the pi-s out of anyone employed in that industry. You have reached the bottom of the heap, the lowest of the low. Harsh I know, but true.
