    What is going on with Paul Becque's hair ? It looks like he has joined some lunatic cult that refuses to get a haircut.

    Birkett works for Elixinol the CBD company , so that's why he's presenting it. He says he takes it , but who knows ? Becque says he takes it - he also claims he takes Proto Col, and he claims 'his mum' takes CBD. Same with Sally -claims she takes Proto Col and CBD. Shaun claims he is 'buying...

    Shaun is on with the CBD oil - 'I'm thinking of buying this for my mum !' he tells us. He stares desperately at the camera ....................... !

    They have just had My Pillow - the owner was a man who couldn't sleep properly , tried every pillow on the market ,even the most expensive ( sound familiar ? ) , then he had a dream Shona tells us. The back story on this product is just as fake as the GX pillow one - the one with the daughter...

    ..... also his suit doesn't fit , and his shirt and tie look sub market stall quality. At least Meltdown Mike appears to be wearing a made to measure suit these days- Becque is definitely the worst turned out man on 'television', if you can call it that.

    That's right- Ideal World have created a twilight world where mass produced watches are coveted items. The unintelligible in pursuit of the uninsurable. We don't hear so much about the collectors club these days , where 'many of our top collectors' (are you there Shaun ?} are herded into the...

    Often used with ' couriered over'.

    He didn't say 'the reason being' either - it was like Bruce Forsyth not saying 'nice to see you' , Meltdown Mike not saying 'the web is in meltdown' , Dennice not saying ' I've ordered this' , Shaun not saying ' I've bought this for my mum'' Reg Varney going 'Woo Hoo !!!!!!!!' or Peter Simon...

    Yes Bid Tv used to sell watches - mostly very cheap quartz with made up Italian sounding names. Gianni Ricci was one such.

    Most of you will have heard Peter Simon's pitch that the watch industry is suffering because of the pandemic and they are selling of stock cheap in order to survive , hence the 'low 'prices on Ideal World. It's a repulsive sales angle at best , but apparently it's also completely untrue - the...

    Does anyone remember when they sold the set of six Police watches Justice League edition ? - it was a promo item for the movie , and I think it was £1400. Part of the pitch was what a stunning investment opportunity it was .... 'who knows what this might be worth in a few years time ?'. There's...

    The man with the pillows is a classic , particularly the made up back story...... ' he went the length and breadth of the country to find a comfortable pillow...including the famous department store in Knightsbridge'. What a preposterous load of old tosh. The whole story was almost certainly...

    Mike you bad boy

    Anything any of them say is act. The personality they present is an act. Their job is to sell as many of whatever they are presenting at that moment as they can. There is no point in looking for continuity in the statements they make - when they purport to like an item , or to have bought it ...

    David Fabbro always says that Dormeo are ' the world's fastest selling mattress brand'. What does that actually mean ? He doesn't say biggest selling -so what can fastest selling mean ? Is it like Supermarket Sweep ? I suspect it means absolutely nothing. And why , after all these years, does...

    I watched some of the Gems TV watch launch. They couldn't half talk-deserved a medal for endurance, The back story was bull from beginning to end , how they were told to eschew mechanical in favour of quartz , They even produced ancient articles from fifty odd years ago about the quartz...

    I think it is the father you know -Gamages watches are owned by Fields Luxury, same as Swan and Edgar. The backstory about family of watchmakers is all made up , third or fourth generation -it's all bull anyway.

    It probably is Daddy Field-his name is Tony , same as Field senior.

    Yes you did - he has never said it correctly. It's a name which , like Rolex and Breitling , he like to throw around whilst making bogus comparisons between top brands and cheap Chinese knock offs.

    I think the stock updates ..... 20% , 80% or whatever .... are just made up. The reason for all the meltdown nonsense is to make the punters think that others are buying , and also because people don't buy if they go away and think about it -they cool off. That's why the presenters are trying to...
