The ads are like the rest of Gemporia's offerings these days, everything is overplayed and annoying, especially most of the presenters!I try to watch the Gemporia advert at least once. Sometimes they're good, sometimes they're not. But ALL times, (this one) they are overplayed and become annoying. Yes, most adverts are like that, but some I do like to watch more than once. This is a comment that's going nowhere, but I thought I'd say something about it anyway
You reminded me of an old joke I made up way back when. "What did your last servant die of?" "Amnesia, they forgot they were in the bath and drowned."
Even though this comment isn't Christmas related, it is VT related. Is it just me or do Gems need to update their VTs? Yesterday I heard Ruth Linnett 'doing' a skit. Today I've seen a VT going back to almost the year dot. Vikki Carr, a 'rounder' SB, and relating to when they had the Serenite mine (Oregon Sunstone, or whatever it's now called.) Updates, please and thank you.
Or on Gem Collector, shouting "Geee Seeee" and "Treasure", like the opening to some 1950s children's TV show. And not forgetting "I salute you"
I presume it's obvious what that salute reminds me of. And no, I haven't seen his doing that on the channel.Or on Gem Collector, shouting "Geee Seeee" and "Treasure", like the opening to some 1950s children's TV show. And not forgetting "I salute you"

I agree, annoying. And shouldn't that now be China.... After all, I can't remember the last time 'they' said our team in India, it's usually China.
A bit silly, I know, but the obvious abandonment of the Jaipur cutting school etc I find a bit sad actually. Was part of what I liked about the Gems TV brand all those years ago.

Maybe the Indians did it better, and now they don't want to admit they 'made a mistake' moving the production elsewhere.
