So much for their famous buying power...how huge must their mark-up be?

I have no problem if they have gone through the same interview/application process as everyone else, but if someone better has been turned down in favour of a relative that really irks me. In a real family business that's fair enough but if it's a PLC then that's another matter.

This seems to be a sensitive subject for you Lottie. I'll leave this alone now.

But Lottie your comment wasn't about any of the above comments, all it said was '...worse still, foreigners' which states that foreigners are a worse option. This reads as a very bigotted way of looking at the problems at QVC by blaming their difficulties on people from other cultures. By the...

I, as a British citizen, have worked both in Australia and Cyprus as a Midwife in Australia and a classroom assistant in Cyprus. I was treated with courtesy and respect by all races and cultures because I could do the work I was paid to do. While in Australia I received all their benefits and...

A bit of an insult there to school leavers and foreigners, Lottie. Especially by saying 'worse still', sounds racist. Maybe the place is being taken over by presenters relatives who are more experienced as models and wanna be pop stars?

It's almost 'Burns Night' and to quote one of his famous lines...to see ourselves as others see us! From many a blunder it would free us. Ms Roberts clearly sees something completely different from us.

Bet Simon is kicking himself for not getting on the kabbalah bracelet bandwagon...right up his street.

Just choked on my macaroni cheese....pmsl

Don't remind me of my mullet perm...hope all the photo's are destroyed :sad:

There is a look I've seen a lot of the youngsters copy round my way and it's truly awful, in my opinion, and all encouraged by the celeb mags. It's a WAG meets Jordon image, you can imagine not a very natural look. Orange skin, thick false eyelashes, lots of hair extensions, whitened teeth...

I won't mention names but there are certaain presenters who I never watch due to their presentation style but Carmel is not one of them.

IF they use it I'll guarantee they'll never pay for it, they'll have it supplied free for life just so the manufacturers can use their names. Celebs don't make me purchase anything by their endorsement as it will always be purely for their own financial gain and is, therefore, meaningless.

Be fair...you are watching a shopping channel not a documentary, what exactly do you expect? Surely not the truth? Could you imagine if the guests and presenters were completely honest? It would make the fashion presentations very interesting!

I'm sure I saw a Michelle Hope item....

Good cop; bad cop...?

I'm watching QVC this morning, as I recover from last night, and it's quite theraputic knowing I'll be buying nothing...I feel so free. I don't mind watching the odd program, I'm not going that far, but the patter is washing right over me. As the buddist say, to be happy you must want what you...

It's my New Year resolution, Gem Genie. I'm fed up of the presenters and although I've bought a lot of products I use and love, I really don't need anything. Once I've finished my easy-pays I'm closing my account!

Good rant :nod: Totally agree with all your points, MissKat. If my working hours weren't the same as High St hours, I probably wouldn't use Q quite so much...it's the ability to shop late at night when I'm home and succespible to the selling tactics of my favourite products that I'm at my...

Yep, another cat lover here, and call me a bitch, but I totally agree with the comments about Arlene Phillips. As for Carol Vorderman, caught her on 'Loose Women' when I was flicking channels and thought she looked freaky. There wasn't a single natural thing about her. Why do women feel they...
