How true. How true... mind you he's everyone's best friend isn't he? And such a genuine person.

He's great isn't he Greg. He used to irritate me on situps, but he's normal now, bet he's glad he jumped ship. He's got Dirty Peter rattled apparently, the waste of space made rather a snitty comment about him a week or so back

Whilst I'd like to know what her connection is with Mason, I feel a bit uneasy about tracking down, or trying to track down her real name. My real name isn't Hillary and I wouldn't like to give my real name or twitter/facebook details so why should we expect Moet to?

We threw ours away too Gordon and use a black marker pen, or a cross shredder and we burn the shreds. Often it is too much trouble to go to the shredder so we use the pen and tbh it is much more efficient than those old stamps. We bought our stamp from a stationers and we were very disappointed...

They are all guilty of treating the customer as if they don't have 2 brain cells to make a synapse. Insultingly so so too.

What a brilliant idea and it could have a knock on effect with other goods.

I quite agree Wirral, presenters much better in the main. Still the insulting and irritating 'I'm your best pal and I wouldn't sell you something I didn't believe was fantastic' spiel but then QVC and Ideal World are the same. I think OFCOM has rattled them I just hope they work through it.

No they wouldn't Aqua and how dare you imply otherwise. Don't you know that ALL the salespeople are our best friends and use EVERYTHING sold on the channels be it snake oil or saucepans. Wooooops! that low flying pig nearly got me.:wink:

I was watching yesterday afternoon, admittedly for only about 20mins. The host was Mark someone (bit older than most of them, been there years, looks like he wears a toupee) He was selling a leather tote bag, nice enough but you could have found similar cheaper on the High St, particularly TK...

Anytime sweetie, my only aim is to please. I'm going to an antique jewellery auction this afternoon I'll keep me eyes open for past jewellery sold on situps, bound to sell, bound to.

These salesmen tell you what they are paid to tell you newtobid... That is, all of them except Peter Simon. God alone knows what he is saying half the time

No!!! Who would have thought it? Glad he suggested that

I had the privilege of knowing him for over 40 years. I never heard him say a bad word about anyone. He was a lovely man and a true friend to many

It's not just the vulnerable is it? I've seen posters on here taken in by the slick smile and I'm your friend routine of some salespeople while selling pound shop products at high-end prices, and defend them! .

Before I start, the 'I' on my keypad only works when it feels like it, so please bear with me if I don't notice a typo The original post reminded me of something that happened in the village where we used to live. An elderly lady thought that the shopping channel salespersons were her friends...

I have found that the best thing to do with trolls and bullies is ignore them. Just go on posting beneath their posts as if they weren't there. Responding to them is like adding oxygen to a fire, without it they soon go out

Seeing how things have declined, they could easily be squashed flies/ midges:giggle:

I hope so. I really hope the channels go back to how they were in the old days. Often, even if hubby and I weren't looking to buy anything, we would turn over to situps for the entertainment. You could have a laugh with them in those days, and quite honestly they were often better than the...

My word someone touched a nerve there.

Not forgetting Peter Simon... the world authority on everything
