Just moments ago - about 18:18 18/11/2024 and the presenter is showing an 'email' that she got from her bank which seems to be recommending to her to invest in gold!! That has to be the biggest LIE. How many rules/laws would a bank be breaking to be recommending its customers to speculatively invest in precious metals. I saw red! Why do they let these rogues spout these untruths!!?

I saw that, but only just. Saw her with her phone showing 'stuff' and mentioned it was her bank sent it. Yes, you said that, but I don't recall any bank that would suggest investing in metals of any kind. Unless I just don't bank at those kind of places.

Oh how I wish they had competency related redundancies. As far as I can see they would nearly all go. Excluding Jeff who seems to know his stuff. Has anyone noticed they are now interfering with Jeff’s shows to their detriment. He has said a number of times that he’s not allowed to show some things and I have requested 2 items in the same show and neither was shown. Just about the only show worth watching and they are running it into the ground. It’s not really worth staying up for anymore. Are they TRYING to fail for some reason.

Totally agree. Jeff's shows are the best of what they have and they treat him so shoddily not allowing him to show any jade and barely any pearls. Plus he is on so late it's like they are deliberately dissing him and self sabotaging the company.

I'm glad he's on late because it allows Jeff to be Jeff.

Steph used to be one of the better presenters, but even she has started rolling out the dubious claims and changed her presenting style since moving to one of the busier timeslots.

If Jeff was put onto daytime slots, I'm of the opinion that he too would be ordered to start using more dubious claims in order to flog things.

It makes you wonder if that's why the more credible presenters decided to move on. I was surprised when Alex McKay left Gem Collector at the time - but having seen what a s**t show the channel has become in such a short space of time, I reckon he knew what was coming, and thought "not on my watch - I'm off". I tuned in briefly the other day to see graphics of excepts from books, dubious price comparisons and long drawn out waffling speeches similar to those on Gems TV. There's no way on earth that Alex would have tolerated all that nonsense.

The only letters I've seen saying anything like this have been junk mail from coin companies trying to get you to buy half and full sovereigns, or other coins. But I would be amazed if any Bank would send out letters like this.

Ahhh, the wonderful junk mail. I can think of better uses for trees. (Not making a joke).

So, you want him to show more Jade and Pearls? Is this a joke?

 

[Marietta]

Oh God it just keeps getting worse, what I don't understand is why when money is obviously tight do they have 2 people presenting most of the time, why can't Toby and Dave just present on there own as Toby does sometimes?

Makes sense, but Dave is not a presenter, he's WAY above that. He's a Gem Specialist, don't you know. The very idea!

Your predictive text is dodgy. It changed massive t**t to Gem Specialist

Totally agree. I think Jeff quite likes the freedom of his late night slots at a weekend which allows him to do his designing work but it is notable that Gemporia, whilst having had pieces designed by other presenters have vetoed Jeff in this regard. But would he really want that anyway? Just wish they'd stop being so ridiculous over not allowing him to do Jade, when everyone is SO sick of Dave doing it every other day!

I did wonder if it wouldn't be overkill.

It'd be like the King making you a cup of coco before he tucks you in at night.

I can understand them not allowing him to sell Visage or Kimbie - but Jade? He's probably more knowledgeable about Jade than the so-called Jade expert, Dave Troth.

 

[rubia]

There is possibly the reason why!

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

I can see him being flamboyant enough to sell Visage. Like everyone's favourite 'ex' Gems, Mark off TJC. Not averse to wearing women's jewellery to show it off. TBH, that looks silly, but that's just my opinion. But seriously, I think Jeff, within reason, could turn his hand to anything.
