If previous tales are anything to go by, it’s quite possible that Shaun’s brother (despite the obvious dangers) had no choice but to use his own improvised ‘ladder’... He was also forced to use a primitive version of the Wagner paint sprayer (see picture), a detail that will almost certainly...

I have heard them mention that 'some assembly is required' but they never actually say what this means. They also ask that you keep the packaging materials, so presumably it has to go back in the original box...I wonder if you would have to dissasemble it as well. These are important details...

:mysmilie_502: Left-over pieces of hide and plain fake leather (usually PVC). We're talking quality!

I came across this message from Shaun “King of the Mattresses” Crawley’s Twitter page:- Oh dear @Matalan advertising one price and charging another ! Not £7 shoes apparently #poor Hmm, we’re not really dealing with a major deception here, more a “Man misses out on cheap shoes!” shocker. It...

I didn't see it, but I noticed that Shaun was presenting the Acer smartphone show yesterday. I did wonder if he had managed to make a reference to some deceased family member, saying how they would have greatly benefitted from this modern technology. Perhaps he mentioned his late father, who...

Talking of which... Shaun was on earlier with that folding mobility scooter. This time he was talking about his late father's ill health, and how it had made him a virtual prisoner in his own home-his life seemingly reduced to languishing in front of a television. Speaking about the marvels...

Peter Simon is currently presenting the Dirt Devil vacuum show with some chap called Alan...a case of a Dirty Devil let loose with a Dirt Devil...and Alan. Peter has just shouted, "You'll need a shovel!" whilst referring to a relatively small pile of salt on the floor. Hmm, I think the only...

I wonder if he was referring to that internationally renowned player, Roy of the Rovers. It's the old "wink wink nudge nudge" celebrity endorsement trick. He might just as well have said that 'Our Bet' was buying one for her grandson. Utter nonsense.

It was a case of “Now we’ve sold out, now we haven’t” on the Vostok show last night with Peter Simon. Stopping to relate some information he’d just heard from a lady called ‘Em’, he went on to make the following dramatic announcement: “I can now tell you the red has sold out, never to return...

Ideal are currently running an advert for the 'Presenter's Choice' of products, which will be a special promotion on Wednesday. Are they serious? Given that fake enthusiasm is their stock-in-trade, why should their product preferences be any different? Talk about putting the 'Con' in...

I see that Ideal are currently flogging some Dormeo mattresses. I wonder if they've been tested by Shaun "King of the Mattresses" Crawley. I don't care about fifteen year guarantees: if it hasn't passed his bowling ball squidge test, or the glass of water stability protocol, then I'm just not...

As garden furniture, I think you're spot on That said, I do think they missed a trick: they could have easily presented the combined chair and footstool as a shoeshine business opportunity...

Funny you should mention that. He had been scheduled for one of the Bike Box shows with Tim Britton, only to be replaced by another presenter. Perhaps there's been more than one complaint...

Here's the TV theme from the Onedin Line:-

Peter Simon and a chap called Gary Shaffer were selling a Charles Taylor garden furniture set yesterday (a company so prestigious that they "don’t need to do discounts"). Mr Shaffer received something of a hero's welcome from Peter, who explained how the show needed a man who was 1) a master...

Is it just me or is Richard Jackson sporting a brillo pad on the top of his head? He strikes me as someone who might want to save a few quid on a hair transplant.

:mysmilie_502:You're right. No mention of his kingly status, and they've also left out his dress size.

I wonder if anyone here knew that Ideal’s Shaun Crawley is the ‘King of the Mattresses’. I was completely in the dark myself until Shaun revealed his true status on yesterday’s mattress show. Whist he may not be listed in Who’s Who or Debrett's, he does get an entry in a highly specialist...

Has anyone else noticed a certain similarity between the fictional Gordan Brittas (The Brittas Empire) and Ideal’s Tim Britton From what I saw of yesterday’s Bike Box show, there seemed to be quite an emphasis on the ‘comedy’ element, with Peter Simon doing his utmost to embarrass Tim with...

HP’s instant ink service One of the items in the latest technology show was an HP printer. Dale Franklin mentioned how his daughter, in the early stages of university, had foolishly ordered some wrong cartridges for her printer. In order to prevent any future mishaps she was (surprise...
