If it was a Charlie bag, it would make you stop at every food outlet, and not let you walk any further until you had bought something to fill its empty insides.

For a Lulu Guiness bag there will be a sultry voice saying "and don't forget you get ME with every purchase"

If it is a Kipling bag it will start of by quoting a very high price for any item, and you will have to haggle, Indian style, to get the price down. There will be a 'walk away' option, after which the bag will come running after you, shouting "your last price, Memsahib" and thrust the tat into...

If only they made knickers like that these days.

I returned from India at midnight, and, having barred myself from watching QVC until Christmas is over, looked to amuse myself before bedtime by reading comments on this forum. I had to look up a DF book listing on Amazon, just out of curiosity. Found 5 star reviews. Put on Sherlock Holmes...

Mediastar made me very nostalgic for my university days when I knew exactly what size every garment was because it was a standard with the inch measurements she gave. And in my favourite chain, dresses were 39/11 and skirts 19/11. Has anyone noticed the deliberate changing, not just of...

Honi soit qui mal y pense.

Vionic! If you wear Viagras, do your feet get bigger?

You didn't say Lulu was unacceptable, you just said that you wondered why. In a world built around coupledom, it is perfectly normal thing to wonder why someone choses not to be half of a couple.

You could make a fortune by running classes, writing books, guesting on QVC to sell your branded merchandise,with your system, Weathergirl's Weeding Out Workshop. I see it all now, Chuntley, Jill F, DF, tearfully saying how you changed their lives by de-cluttering their houses of all the...

I may have cracked the mystery for you. I just had a quick look at the website (9 pm, all sizes still available, whoever would have thought it?) I looked at the dvd and all the slim models had three quarter sleeves, whereas Sophia had sleeves half way down her hands. I think this may be part...

This is totally off topic, but save the bubblewrap. I once worked with a therapist whose cure for boredom among his married clients was to instruct them to tie each other up in bubblewrap.

And of course, the Pilates machine offers unrivalled opportunities for major surgery. Having ripped my tendons while doing an open leg movement on it, I have had a failed arthroscopy and am now the proud owner of a metal knee.

My friend who has not shopped with QVC for so long that she thinks Bethlehem Lights are called Northern Lights, got a promo code from QVC with a letter saying "we missed you". I have no idea if codes are unique to people QVC have a record of sending them to, but if anyone wants to try it for a...

I attempted to delete this, but could not technically manage it. I have no desire to stir up antagonism. I just honestly couldn't see the relevance of starting post of this thread, about fantasy shopping in America.

Who are 'we' and what is the relevance to QVC?

I think she filched it from Babs. It was in one of Miss Cartland's books back in the 1960s, at which time Catherine Deneuve was so beautiful she made strong men weep. I don't think she had the ability to think forward to the saggy bum future that awaits most of us!

For appliances, I think Lakeland (free over £30) and John Lewis (free over £50) put the customer first before QVC does.

We are all cheering you on, Mia56.

Can you imagine what the American owners would say? "Guy who? The man wanted to blow up Parliament? The man's a goddam terrorist!"
