"Nepotism" is probably a bit harsh. Gemporia was set up by a family and friends for sure but it is a just business, like any other. I'm not sure that anyone is being given particular privilege over anyone else, with an unfairness that is detrimental to anyone else. I really don't have the...

He has - multiple times. Perhaps not very recently, as brand awareness has grown on the channel and the backstory hasn't needed to be told. Quite open, specific, honest and frank about it. Not at all deceptive. They have never, ever suggested anything close to it being a 'cure all'. It's...

Now, tell me. Who watched this pair of primetime queens? Was it all polite or was there lots of catty sniping and ankle-kicking under the table?

Which would you rather have? A modern resin-filled, moulded, heated and glued bangle for £250 or a Victorian card case, still in great condition and could easily be used today as a credit card case, for around £70 (images attached)?

Based on some of the past pairings that Gemporia thought were a good fit, after his comments about "women of a certain age", I'd pay money to see Angeline's face if he was to co-present an hour of MenoMy... 😱🤣

I agree. I saw an unnecessarily complicated arrangement on a Sarah Wait show, along the lines of "Buy 3 for 2" but if you spend £100, take 20% off with this code. I did try to work out if there was actually an extra discount in it but I gave up. When some of the Black Friday prices came in...

And, finally, while we're about the shocking state of English spoken by most of the Gems presenters, another very, very basic rule is that you cannot qualify a superlative. It's a superlative for a reason. The most common horror perpetrated on Gems and GC is "more unique" 😨.

I think almost everyone on Gems does this, along with "there is lots of them". Brings out the beast in me because it's not language "evolving" or being subject to "gatekeeping by the elite" it's just basic English and wrong.

In British English, adjectives have a comparative and superlative form. Prefixing "more" is 100% incorrect. Adjective: Rare Comparative: Rarer Superlative: Rarest Not me being "elitist" (a common slur used to excuse bad education or learning) but it always has been here and teaching these...

Not forgetting Gigi from California on Gems and Loreanne from Texas on GC.

Oh heck. Really?

Not knocking Flint at all (lovely specimens can be bought) but a fiver for a piece of unattractive rough that won't show why this source of material is so pretty is steep indeed. Not an Emily "One of a Kind", there's no guarantee at all that, if you polished or sliced the one you were sent, it...

Speechless. Referenced by Jim just now as "four pounds", add on P&P... Is it me? 🤷‍♂️

Dear ShoppingTellyForum Your recent post has been brought to our attention by our Brand Ambassador Ellis Ward (hello, Ellis) and we would like to correct some recent misinformation, in the spirit of the unbiased not-at-all-like-the-Khmer-Rouge service foisted on the licence fee payer known as...

Gemporia's own words: Temu, anyone?

Another one that was first sold nearly two years ago. Try a Jeff request?

It is, you're right. Looking at this user's messages on this forum, there aren't many but a lot are race-baiting. Possibly US in origin, looking at the timestamps. So it's an ignore/avoid from me.

Blimey. That's some face fillers, colouring and hair extensions! 🤣

Looking at American Riviera Orchard, I don't think she's flogging fish. Yet.
