    When there's a genuine and significant mistake the graphics get abruptly removed and the presenter says something similar to "I don't know what happened there; we'll move on to another item", though if it's something as 'trivial' as showing free postage when it should instead be chargeable they...

    I know some people on here say Peter Simon isn't funny but he's still talented enough to give me the biggest laugh of the week so far by talking about a £450 Electricianz watch and saying "Put it on your household insurance" :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: And yes I know...

    Ideal World are spending several million a year on TV broadcast licences which is a massive overhead compared to internet-only businesses so they have to sell a lot of matresses, treadmills and Swan and Edgar tat with ludicrously high profit margins to pay for them. Not defending their business...

    Also Ideal World sell other watches that are at least well-established as reasonable quality items outside of the Ideal World universe such as Mathey-Tissot, Traser and Vostok (even if overpriced), therefore to also sell something like Swan & Edgar amongst them, priced at similar price points to...

    On balance I think I've seen him on-air recently and let's face it it's unlikely to be a Create and Craft presenter when it's much more likely to be an employee from Ideal World (unless for some reason they;re 'borrowing' accounts for fake reviews). That is of course if they're posting fake...

    Shreque telling viewers that the phone lines "are in meltdown" for the ceramic radiators not long before bringing on Peter with his temperature probes and heat-sensitive camera, which doesn't make sense* because if they were truly inundated with orders then they wouldn't have to bore us with...

    Given that someone previously said their stock control system removes items from sale if items are placed in online baskets but not 'checked out'/paid for, the only possibility is that the watch is now out of stock through online orders (all stock is in online baskets/paid for) but there are...

    The same ceramic heater as last time but with a different brand name on the box? Check. Showing outside winter footage even if it's quite mild in the UK? Check. Outrageously inaccurate weather forecast making out next week's going to be colder than inside your freezer cabinet? Check. "Only...

    Deknees seems to be on a lot this week therefore guessing that one or two presenters could be on holiday. At least during the little bit I saw of her watch show there was a moment of honesty when she said that she didn't know what something did, but still it's not a good look for a watch show...

    Alternatively either implying that Thomas Earnshaw's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandson's still personally hand-assembling limited edition watches whilst dressed in a tweed suit and wearing a monocle, or showing watches being assembled by a small number of smartly-dressed...

    Mann Egerton? I've heard of them years ago as being the name of a new car dealership. Anyway, when was the last time Ideal World and Ideal Extra were both selling exactly the same product at the same time as they were doing for 45 minutes at 7.30pm this evening? Therefore you had the choice of...

    Those Gevril (or Gerbil as I like to think of them) watches basically look well-made but at the same time they're well-overpriced. Plus anything with a 'fake' RRP (yes Mark you are telling the truth when you say IW doesn't set the RRP values; it's made-up nonsense from the distributor or...

    With their 'super busy' Swan and Edgar shows, everything's "about to sell out" even though they kept going back to the same watches over and over again. Also if Swan and Edgar have never produced a ladies' watch before - exceptionally strange given decades of horological heritage based on a...

    Last time I saw the camera output from one of their drones it looked like a poor quality webcam from 2004, and it wouldn't surprise me if the 'HD' image quality was faked using interpolation as with some really cheap and awful mobile phones.

    This evening he said that Swan and Edgar 'transformed' into this 'beautiful' 'boutique' watch brand in 'London'. The words 'transformed', 'beautiful', 'boutique' and 'London' doing some serious heavy lifting there (y) Also Shaun earlier had the cheek to refer to "ITV viewers who have just...

    You can never tell with Peter Simon (or for that matter any other IW presenter) whether they're being serious or not, but it seems fairly likely that PS will retire at some point during the next three years. Also the HS2 compensation money must help to buy another decent property even if it...

    Yes I saw him on C&C as well for a grand total of five seconds. Say what you like about Mike Mason but at least he has the intelligence to adjust his sales pitch depending on whether he's on Ideal World or Create and Craft. Shreque on the other hand has one idiot size fits all, and someone...

    There's a Jane Plan 'testimonial' that must be the equivalent of Megan's eLife bikes review which ends in someone's husband being upset that the wife had stopped doing the Jane Plan, but if the Jane Plan is so amazing in so many different ways then why did the wife stop it in the first place...
