    Peter's on with the coffee machine..... 'from the Pharaohs to the Kings and Queens' he begins. A quick google confirms that coffee was not drunk until over a thousand years after the demise of the last Pharaoh. He used to say that Krups who make the machine are a 'byword for German engineering'...

    Also they buy everything for their mums..... 'now I bought this for my mum' is one of the most frequent lies they tell. Also ' I bought something similar but I paid a lot more , and it didn't have the ( name feature )' is another favourite. My current number one is presenter Alex who claims that...

    Resident genius Reg Varney was on with the Will Writing man , who was talking about Lasting Power Of Attorney. Reg blurted out that he had phoned the phone company on his dad's behalf , and they said they needed to speak to the account holder. ( It was all made up of course ) He reckoned that if...

    She made up an excruciating story , which she hadn't thought through -some nonsense about her son getting in the car and feeling cold ,then her wrapping him the heated jacket and it warming him up. I would be surprised if it would deliver heat in that configuration - in any event it was just BS.

    Peter Simon is on claiming he has been using Elizabeth Grant for seventeen years. The only thing he appears to have been using for seventeen years is botox. 'I don't give my age away , but I was born not long after the second world war' he tells us. According to Wikipedia he was born at the end...

    It was like Bid Tv on IW last night- surplus stock of faded 'celebrity' brand fragrance. Meltdown Mike was struggling to put a pitch together '....... don't think that the Ariane Grande is for teenage girls , it's highly sophisticated !' It'll be the porcelain statuettes and worry angels next.

    Crawley is on selling footwear - 'they dissipate the heat when your feet are too hot , and lock the heat in when your feet are cold' he claims. Really Shaun? How do they do that - do they have a thermostat? The manufacturers website makes no such claim. Are you just making it up as you go along ?

    The most objectionable part of that 'review' was that it referenced British manufacture. Mason read it out in it's entirety.. They clearly imagine that if they are quoting someone else's words they are not culpable in passing a Chinese watch off as British - 'it's not me saying it guvnor -it's...

    Just looking at the 'customer testimonials' VT for My Pillow. Not only are all the 'customers' actors reading from a script , but they all have dubbed on voices from other actors known as voice artists, Most tv ads do the same thing - when you see a model saying 'Because I'm worth it ' or...

    If everything is selling out, flying out the door , won't last the show , vulnerable , over allocated..... then why are they using valuable air time to promote stock that is selling itself? If this flying out the door nonsense was true , they would use the air time to present stuff that needed...

    Jim Clawley and Shaun Byetheway have got a real bromance going on - not only do they look the same with their horrible mousy hair and close cropped beards , but they dress the same too, and mirror each others movements. I'm not being funny but ( geddit ?) , it's a bit creepy. The latest Shaun...
