The thought of Pope Pete getting his baubles out effectively cancels any thoughts of Christmas. And if Pete's had a cosmetic job he should ask for his money back (or offer the surgeon a job on IW?)..

Their pricing is just completely off the wall now. I'd be amazed if they sold one at this price. Just bonkers.

You are probably right on this - I can only remember a bit of the song and can remember when I first heard the lyrics thinking it assumed a woman would be quite happy to 'give up the good life' and her independence for being the little woman at home. I knew Glenn Campbell was no longer with us...

Like all the other stories he spins his age is flexible. He lives in one room, a flat, a broken-down cottage with leaky roof (heated only by 300 IW radiators that you can buy for about half the price elsewhere), he lives with Our Bet, he lives alone, he's poor but rich enough to buy everything...

I think you've added the word 'thousand' by mistake after Screeching Sal's name. ;) If she'd been around during WW2 they wouldn't have needed air raid sirens.

So true! It's Adina on Gems who never finishes........A sentence. What you need to remember is.....This colour reminds me of..... We never find out what she's on about, because she never finishes a sentence - and all done whilst flicking the hair that hasn't seen a brush or comb in a month...

Didn't Glenn Campbell have a song about 'the dreams of the everyday housewife' (can't remember the title or the rest of the words) - I can remember hearing that on the radio in my twenties and thinking 'what the.......' even then.

Lol! I'm sure the Insurance Company would take great delight in telling me to Go Forth and Multiply :ROFLMAO:

Both. I'm sure they're an investment, both heirloom pieces, don'tcha know. (Nurse, where are my tablets?)

Such a shame! :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

I believe they said the song was recorded in 1963, but listening to the lyrics today you could believe 1863.

OK, you've convinced me - if I can get it insured, I'll buy it:ROFLMAO: Drenched in gold, of course.

I actually sent items back to them 'back in the day' for this very reason - that the colour of the item I received was nothing like that shown on the channel. Another reason I stopped buying. So in my opinion this is nothing new, it's been happening for some time.

Jojo, their quality control has deteriorated in line with everything else. Is it worth a try at contacting them anyway, and asking for a refund - especially if you are someone who has bought items recently? A stone with a crack should have been spotted, you're absolutely right. Pretty...

I won't be buying the piece that she handles after rubbing her fingers all over her nostrils, thanks all the same. Come to think of it, I won't be buying anything at all....

And if Nana Munchetty is on BBC Breakfast, I have to fight the urge to chuck rocks at the screen. Journalist? Nah!

I think they all have to toe the line now, and use 'the script'. So she needs to rehearse 'amazing!', 'you could pay this for the gold alone', 'congratulations, Freda of Fishpool, you've got yours'. 'you need to multi-buy', 'you could pay 6 million for this elsewhere', etc. etc. etc.

Wasn't it the meat pies they had the non-delivery problems with at Christmas, a few years ago? I think there were loads of comments on this forum from people who either did get them and didn't think they were up to much, or who didn't receive them in time for the day, unless I'm mixing this...

Me too - and Lynsey would be welcome here, anytime.......when I'm in Suffolk or Cambridgeshire (luckily, I have relatives in both, so I can hide....)

I agree with you about the quality of the early stuff - I still have pieces I bought in 2007-2008 and there is no comparison whatsoever to what's flogged from the market stall of today. Rings or pendants with 4 grams (or plus) of 18ct gold or platinum that were real quality pieces (and having...
