Still, 12 years on my rings are still shining like northern stars. I blame my Mother for my exquisite taste as she herself has a platinum wedding and engagement ring from the oldest jewellers in the world Garrards, and she always said to me that when I get married to only wear platinum.

I dunno about you lot but the whole tone of the piece makes me wanna karate chop her in her scrawny neck!!

Good God!...What a vain & vile little madam that extract makes her sound!!!!! We all think we've got good taste, otherwise we wouldn't buy/choose to wear what we do, but most of us don't say it. If someone pays me a compliment, I'll say "thank you very much", I can't imagine what people's reactions would be if I said something along the lines of "Yes, I have the most exquisite taste, don't I?"....."Oh, and Mummy said, don't accept anything less than a platimum engagement ring"..YUCK, YUCK and treble YUCK!
I thought these blogs were supposed to provide a bit of "friendly insight" into the presenter's outside lives, not a platform on which to stand on and brag and name drop.I'm sure that there are ways to showcase a full and exciting lifestyle, ( if that's what she thinks she's got!), without alienating her customers....'cause at the end of the day, she's selling a lot of tat on a shopping channel, even if she is "considerably richer/prettier than yow!"

STUPID BINT!!!!!:angry:

Ooooh yes, but I read back a few bits I missed and it does appear the lass does have a modicum of humility.....so that's good!

Yes, indeedy. But Claudia did sound boastful, even if she didn't mean to be. I know a woman who is just like that, she has no self awareness. Her cooking is "exquisite", she has "too many holidays" etc etc. But when it's said out loud you can laugh inwardly at her and walk away. The tone of it would be quite different if she wrote down what she said, I think.

Some people are so self-righteous, that it verges on the ridiculous.:tongue2:

Claudia has added another article to her blog now about meeting an elderly lady in a hospital and then visiting her in the home where she lives.

A story which would have appeared without the criticism she has received or an attempt to redeem herself?

petpixie · Sep 11, 2009

I doubt she gives a flying fart what any of us think. I know I wouldn't. Any job entailing being in the public eye means you're open to public criticism (and praise)
I'm sure she's seasoned enough to be well aware of the fickle public and their opinions and if not, maybe she's in the wrong job.
She takes the money and the piper plays the tune.

that comment was made in anather post about taking vitamin supplements insted of eating and no no-one is "fair game".

No i'm sure she doesn't give a flying fart about what any of us think,coz she is a robot right??......
Which is why she also wrote this in response to a post which we can't see for some reason...........

Again...interesting tone.

"How funny ... No my sister in law did not complain... !! She called to tell me she'd read them and was most upset.. How funny, talk about wrong end of stick. Colleague just pointed that one out...

The good thing is that if she is a robot and we have actually "torn her limb from limb"....which is utter nonsense by the way.......We can re-build her,we have the technology.........

Cue music for The Six Million Dollar Man........

Yes,I am a child of the seventies.

I'm a Yorkshire lass who calls a spade a spade, but even I am shocked by the unnecessary personal remarks and nastiness towards Claudia shown on this thread.

Well you know some people are nasty in a direct way,others in an oblique way(please read between the lines on that one),it's all perception I guess.

Whilst i'm no angel,I took exception to a remark made about Claudia in this thread and said so coz it took focus away from my main gripe,which is her blog,however I can't control what others choose to say,i'm only responsible for my words.And I stand by every one of them.

Totally agree Loopy, it actually made me feel physically sick and I'm no shrinking violet.
I have been less than kind about JR's dress sense on these threads because it exasperates me but have tried to balance it by commenting on her professionalism and other attributes.According to some posters, Claudia has no redeeming features whatsoever!
Posters have even criticised the way her name is pronounced - maybe we should drag her parents in here and hold them to account for their apparent questionable taste.
It has all gone too far, moved away from the OP's original point and become a vehicle for pure malice.
