Oh yeh, I forgot about the Charlie Bears. I will take what I said back in my opening post!
The Charlie Bear Hour have to be about the most irritating and retarded presentations QVC do. The fawning over these toys is just an excruciating experience. It's worse than Ideal World and former Bid...
Charlie is very much 'old school' but to me a vast difference from the OTT gushy women presenters.
Very much slower pace, he is tasting the products as if a food connoiseur, slowly savouring the morsels allowing the viewer time to consider the purchase rather than be rushed into an impulse buy...
Funny you should say that, Andik. Reading the marzipan posts on this thread made me 'crave' some so I looked on Amazon for marzipan related goods to buy on Prime for delivery tomorrow. I stopped myself from buying anything, of course, but it goes to show the power of the media, internet and...
5 miniature 'kilner' jars (50ml each) of 'craft beers from North Essex' - £35 + p&p
6 mini Christmas shortcake fingers in tiny Christmas crackers £25 + p&p
10 'Andi Peters' mulled wine 'pigs in blankets' dipped in mint chocolate £45 + p&p
Over to you for food suggestions... :mysmilie_59:
Be very careful buying meat on QVC. My friend bought some last year and it arrived far short of the quality expected. QVC really have you over the barrell over this. She expexted this to cover her Christmas but sizes were too small and the quality very poor. She was very upset.
It's ridiculous, really. There isn't anything special to justify the ludicrous price tag. They're not organic or artisinal.
If a high-street store tried sélling this product at £18/24 people would laugh at them...
For example: Harrod's mince pies are £9.95, Fortnum & Mason £10.95. These are...
Ideal World is bad when it comes to ripping customers off but QVC is just as bad:
10 mince pies including P&P for £24. :mysmilie_10:

Towards the end of Bid TV's miserable existence, I began to hate the network when they seemed to do everyhing to rip off the consumer, at every turn. I was glad to see the back of this network when it got bankrupt and closed.
I am feeling the exact way with Ideal World as they seem to be going...
Gollum has a history of putting down / being rude to women in his presenting work. He did it on Bid, you should see the way he treated his co-hosts on Gala TV (plenty of vids on You Tube).
He might think it's 'banter' but it definately belongs to the 1970's by referring to these 'birds' as...
