I really wish that TJC and Gemporia would both pick a story and stick to it.
Both make a huge deal about being able to offer stuff at low prices, especially with jewellery compared to that sold in high street jewellers. All because of their ability to buy huge amounts in bulk, apparently.
Which is fair enough. So stuff airing at "low" prices shouldn't be a surprise to anyone then, as it's apparently what these channels are set up to do.
But then occasionally you're going to get presenters like Mark on TJC doing this unconvincing performance over pricing. Why, if TJC is supposedly all about low prices?
And why should he be so angry anyway? Is it offending his family's honour? If Mark takes pricing so personally (which isn't anything to do with him, anyway), then perhaps the poor sensitive dear should consider a change of career.
I mean, I have done stints of working in retail, and I couldn't have given a monkey's about pricing. Unless I saw something I liked in passing at a reduced price, and rushed to put it aside to buy it later.
Seriously, the fact that TJC thinks that their viewers are such mugs that they encourage this kind of thing is disgusting. I now see why they think that Sally Jacks and Peter Simon will be such a good fit at their company
