Ok, so here is what it says about 'comparisons' on the ASA website. The way i am reading this Gems and the other channels shouldn't really be using other brand names to sell their stuff. • Advertisements must not create confusion between the advertiser and its competitors or between the...

I am sick to the back teeth of hearing presenters using designer names to flog me jewellery. If I had a pound for every time I heard someone say 'it's inspired by' .. It makes me cringe just writing it !! I can't believe they can use someone elses hard work to flog their own stuff so I did...

I hate to see the name of the British legion being exploited. It's a disgrace! But the biggest crime for me is that the British Legion are FORCED to seek funding in this way. It's a very sad sign of the times.

Oh no. Not the bags again! Are they the same awful looking things they had last year?

What a let down. Was it my telly or was Charlies microphone broken? After all that fan fare.. Unveiling the studio... The big build up.... What do we have??? Pink socks with butterflies on them for 3 quid.. Anti climax or what ?

I wonder how often the presenters get a telling off because of this forum?

Oh I LOVE Peter Sherlock !! He's fantastic and is wasted on shopping telly. I know what you mean Tassi I used to love Angeline on gems but can't watch her these days and used to hate Peter simons shouting but now I like him lol. Thank you for respecting my opinion though x

That is so funny. I thought my telly had finally packed up and the color was broken. Has she been on holiday ?

Hi Ben. I think his facebook post about not selling crap anymore was very very silly of him, and I am sure he regrets it. I have put daft thing on facebook in the spur of the moment and then wished I hadn't, but then my face is not on the telly. The other stuff just feels a bit petty to be...

Sorry everyone, but I have to disagree. I really like the lad and I am pleased to see him back. He always makes me chuckle and believe me I need more of that.

Hi Steve thank you for your reply, but alas i feel like you have avoided the actual question. my concern is that the Tanzanite you sell is mined by children,you may have never seen children at the mine yourself, but its pretty indisputable that they work there from the film. i can only assume...

I also thought it was interesting that they said 80% of all the tanzanite comes from independent mines!!

I think it's a sad situation that we are finding ways to justify it. It's one thing children having to be breadwinners, but it's quite another that they are sent down a dangerous mine on the brink of starvation. We are not living in the dark ages. Companies who make far less money than gems tv...

I think it is the responsibility of the consumer to insist on ethically sound products. If we demand this then the retailer HAS to take note, then the wholesaler, then the mines. I disagree that this is 'common place' and acceptable in different cultures. I didn't see anyone in that video that...

Gem Slaves Hi Everyone I stumbled upon this video entitled 'the gem slaves of the tanzanite mine' its a really shocking look at exactly who is mining our Tanzanite. its a pretty disturbing reality.children on the brink of starvation.... it might look beautiful in our jewellery but is it worth...

All I hear these days on gems TV is how rare Tanzanite is and how I need to buy it now, only 10 -15 years left, one place in the world, only this generation can buy it ... Blah blah blah.. Well, all the 'fist waving' has motivated me to do some research of my own... And the experts don't seem...

Ok, so who is you biggest turn off? By this I mean which presenter makes you want to turn your telly off when they're on? For me Angeline makes me want to turn off the telly, hide the remote and send back the sky box ......

I really can't stand Angeline. I find her really annoying, false patronizing, snobby and bland. She is my least favorite presenter. So I guess I go for the channel she isn't on lol

Very good point, do you think this forum is a fair representative of the gems tv audience as a whole? The Bennets seem to think so as they are constantly on here defending themselves and promising to steer the ship in the direction we all demand. Personaly I am not so sure. I think we represent...

Ooooh, the lucky girl... I thought she was fab, a real natural. It's so nice to see someone from shopping telly cross over to actual TV. I wish her every sucess
