I have no problem with them wearing jewellery and clothes on air in unrelated programmes as long as it’s current stock, it’s the having them at home free that annoys us.
I still can't believe that in this day and age they don't list ingredients on the website and that if I am interested in a product, thankfully very rare, I have to go off and find the ingredients myself.It’s one thing to get a freebie but which presenter is going to actually buy items out of their own pockets just because they have to present them on a show.
I can’t use perfumed products so if I was a Q presenter would I have to buy items which I wouldn’t use just to say how good it was . Neither would I use it if it was free.
Just describe the item, say the ingredient/size whatever and leave it up to the BA and models to slop it all over themselves. Job done - since we can’t smell, feel or taste what is the point anyway. They aren’t going to tell the truth anyway so just give the basics and then shut up!
Another thing very important to me is the ‘made in” if I can help it I will NEVER, NEVER, EVER, EVER, buy anything made totally or partly “made in China” I just wish others were the sameI still can't believe that in this day and age they don't list ingredients on the website and that if I am interested in a product, thankfully very rare, I have to go off and find the ingredients myself.
M & S list ingredients so I tend to buy off them.
Someone has posted on Facebook showing a photo of a Joules label saying Boldly British. The little label underneath says Made in China.Another thing very important to me is the ‘made in” if I can help it I will NEVER, NEVER, EVER, EVER, buy anything made totally or partly “made in China” I just wish others were the same
Just by coincidence, I've just been using my Kuhn Rikon tall pan with a removable basket that boils up to 12 eggs at a time.Another thing very important to me is the ‘made in” if I can help it I will NEVER, NEVER, EVER, EVER, buy anything made totally or partly “made in China” I just wish others were the same
I don't think QVC give away the products I think the vendors doMaybe if QVC stopped giving them all those freebies then they could manage to reduce the P&P or cap it, like IW do. A fat chance of that ever happening though.
I suppose that it’s fair enough to give the presenter who is doing the TSV show a sample to try out, but not a whole bunch of them. The presenters can’t even write reviews so what’s the point or justification in their handing out freebies to all and sundry?
What?!?!?!?I bought one of those, stratobuddy. Used it once and binned it.
The Kuhn Rikon tall pan, in case you wondered what I meant.What?!?!?!?
When I said "WHAT" it was in surprise of binning it, especially as they cost £40 to £50.The Kuhn Rikon tall pan, in case you wondered what I meant.
I bought it for pasta, but I found it easier in the pan that I used before. I went off it after the first use when it boiled over onto the oven. And as I’d never need to boil 12 eggs at the same time there was no point in keeping it. It stayed at the back of my cupboard until I had a clear out, during the first lockdown and, because I didn’t use it, I got rid of it.
The other Kuhn Rikon things that I’ve got are brilliant though and are going nowhere.

I was hoping that you gave it to someone who would use it, or donated it to a charity shop, etc, and not literally binned it.
As I don't have a car, I often give things away via Freecycle, and if people want things, they come and collect them.
I had the stainless steel version.They were £20-25 not long after I bought the non-stick version. I wanted the steel but it had disappeared from the site not long before the non-stick version was a TSV. I was deeply sorry I'd bought it as the non-stick started peeling off after the second use - which was about 3 months after it was the TSV.
Loads of others had the same problem according to reviews so I rang Q and was basically laughed at.
Not being one to give up I wrote to them pointing out all the other reviews/defective/not fit for purpose etc. I also mentioned Trading Standards. I had a terse phone call a few days later telling me my card had been refunded and to stick the pot where the sun doesn't shine (well, to put it in the bin).
I'd also written to KR complaining about the lack of quality and that Q had washed their hands of it. They sent me a £30 voucher to spend on anything on their site along with an apology. Now, that's what I call customer service. Well done KR.
I'd really fancied the steel version but after using the non-stick I'd found the design very difficult to use, not helped by those wire handles. It's great if you have strong wrists and a need to cook asparagus/corn cobs etc., and the basket to cook them in is a great idea but it wasn't for me.
I live five minutes walk away from the village church.
I know that many of the graves are visited by family that are and have been shielding.
When I've been furloughed every very so often I go and give the graves a bit of a tidy so should they get visited at some point the visitor will not be upset by the sight of their loved one's unkempt last resting place.
I've never taken a selfie while I'm there, in fact I've only ever told one person apart from now.
