Yes - complete spiv ! He also said they tested and rejected multiple prototypes of the pen they give away with the watches ,when in reality it's a bulk bought mass produced cheapie. Just like the watches.

Sometimes he says they are made ' on the banks of the Cologne !'. Caroline the Constantin Weisz ambassador used to claim that the watches are 'designed in Germany' and Pope Peter would bang on about the 'German engineers' . Caroline would try and moderate him by repeating that the 'design' was...

Peter V and Shaun are on with the refurbished iPhone 7. Peter is telling us he knows people who have bought the very latest iPhone and said 'nah ...I'm going back to the iPhone 7 !' Who are these people Peter ? Or are you just making it up ?

There is another review which says the minute hand was rattling around loose under the glass. What is particularly poignant is that several of the IW customers who save submitted reviews really believe that Swan and Edgar is actually a brand that manufactures watches - they have been...

Cant agree about Kevin I'm afraid - I have heard him tell viewers that 'in his opinion ' the Mathey Tissot watch he was selling would increase in value after it was purchased .

Similarly the Pope kept saying the free Earnshaw credit card holder is worth £60 - here's a similar or better one on Amazon . £5.99. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01NAKSTCK/?tag=shoppingcom03-21

First rules of shopping telly; 1. Say you have bought / are buying it. 2. Say you bought something similar but paid a lot more. 3. Say you bought one for your mum. 4. Say you bought one for your nan ( never say grandmother , grandma or granny - absolutely has to be nan).

The other day he described the people on this forum as internet trolls and railed about a post that questioned the accuracy of his on air statements. He then pretended to fall asleep in the plastic chair like they all have to do.

Reminds me of when James Russell (remember him on Bid Tv ?) said '...if you've always dreamed of owning Philip Mercier , today is the day we're going to make it affordable for you !'

Also Shaun was banging on about the prices on the Swiss Eagle website and how you would pay £1250 or £1350 if you bought direct. Except it's not true ! The Swiss Eagle website is a shell. There is no mechanism for buying , the 'prices' are displayed purely as a device to enable Ideal World and...

Just hopped onto the channel and Martin said both 'all four corners of the world ' and 'the reason being' within three minutes. Needless to say both phrases were devoid of context or meaning.

There's a website for the watches; https://swanandedgar.london/ The 'British design ...decades of experience' stuff is here , so I suppose that's where Sally got her voiceover material from. Having a 'manufacturers website' with inflated prices is an old shopping telly trick to make the on air...

Well done ! I only ever did one ASA complaint -it was back in the days of Bid TV and it was also watches and nowhere near as bad as the shenanigans that are happening on Ideal World. The complaint was upheld , so will be interested to hear how yours progresses.

No good emailing Ideal World -they are co-conspirators. You should report to the ASA , here's the link ; https://www.asa.org.uk/make-a-complaint.html

It's true ! Channel hopping late tonight I thought I had walked into a nightmare when I flicked to ITV 1 when suddenly there were Shreque's grotesque features screeching at me from the screen. At first I thought I must have gone to Freeview 22 by mistake , but no-Ideal World was transmitting VT...

I remember that wrist phone on Bid that Mike Mason claimed he had bought -he said the only reason he didn't wear it while he was presenting is because he wasn't allowed to for technical reasons ! This is why I love shopping telly !

They don't really buy the stuff -they just pretend. I wonder if they go to special classes to practice the look of ecstasy they have to assume when they recline in the plastic chairs.

It's a standard shopping telly tactic to inflate the prices on the suppliers website's prices to make the channel's prices look good. It's all done by arrangement with the supplier and it's designed to fool the customers.

Well at least it justifies you making the complaint ( sort of ). The other day I heard Peter Simon saying a watch movement he was flogging was found in watches 'costing tens of thousands of pounds' -that's a verbatim quote. When I googled the said movement it was described in the watch forums...

If IW management are reading this thread I would mention two recent infractions which I think would have generated upheld complaints ; 1) Peter Simon claiming that Mathey Tissot supply watch movements to Patek Phillipe. 2) Peter Simon introducing Caroline Jones as 'from Garrard , the Queens...
