Yes, you do have to scrape the bowl down periodically

I've yet to stop laughing at this

This is it, exactly. And so long as people continue buying said tat, it's actually a pretty robust, profitable business model.

Yes, but I don't think they have a permanent BA for it any longer - it's often Jenny Blackhurst, but I think I've seen others doing it as well. What they don't sell any longer on QVCUK is Susan Graver style (same era) - only on US QVC now.

Along the same lines, I was only thinking a few days ago that you never see Laura Geller live on air now - she used to come over fairly regularly, but it's just Sarah Jagger now (who I quite like), with the occasional appearance from LG via video call. Same with Cathy Kangas, who used to appear...

Are you thinking of Lenny (Feinberg) from Nina Leonard?

Definitely prefer him back from that era than Sara Griffiths - I had to put the heating on when she came on the screen, such was her chilliness.

I'd forgive him :D

The problem for me is every time I see Ruthless I think 'mutton'. And that's not a good selling point for any of her clothes.

Biagi's always fancied himself a bit, but he looks even more like an old man than before. Bring back Anthony Heywood.

Yes! I rather liked Kathy Taylor actually - she did the Morning Show, didn't she, and always seemed well prepared, not pushy and personable. I really do not like the pretentiousness that is Katy Pullinger - I think the point when she kept describing a quilted jacket as 'oh, this is just so...

Oh Autumernal :mad:. Awfelia is the one who puts extra syllables in words the most. Also, whenever she's talking about fragrance, she keeps pronouncing 'envelop' as 'envelope' - which is faintly hilarious. I think the gallery/colleagues are being a bit mean not to have quietly mentioned it to...

yes! Derek - that's it. Thank you.

Are they still doing that skit where they pretend that conduction of heat through a material is treated as some minor miracle? THE POWER IS OFF, BUT THE TEMPERATURE IS STILL GOING UP!!! It's magic, I tell ye.

What, like Wolf Garten stuff? Yes, I think they might have had.

Yes, could well be. Talking of 'Handy', do you remember 'The Handy' range of garden equipment - presented by a proper old boy who I think founded the company, and then by Adam Woolcott. Seems a milliions years ago, and certainly in terms of style from now.

I completely agree with you. Despite QVCs obvious shortcomings, the business model is sound, it has high production values, attracts and retains good brands and it's been going now for 30+ years. That says something, unlike the repeated insolvencies of Ideal World. I always originally...

Gosh, Claire Sutton. I'd completely forgotten all about her!

I'm pretty sure that Chuntley is a woman who has a 'thin' wardrobe, a 'medium' wardrobe, and an 'oh-my-god-look-at-the-size-of-me' wardrobe. Like a lot of us, really.

This is something which has bugged me - I'd never even heard of the phrase 'hot flashes' until QVC - I thought she'd mispronounced it. Given I think it was Awfelia, who can't even pronounce basic words, this seemed a distinct possibility. They're all so ready to use Americanisms wherever...
