Mason's Weather Warning

[deedee]

Here we go again. Mike Mason has just given a severe weather warning for when he starts his shift at 10 p.m.
So be prepared for 3 hours of scaremongering and terrifying vulnerable people.
I think this is an absolutely disgusting selling strategy and totally amoral; the man is clearly completely unscrupulous and doesn't care if he upsets and frightens people. The vulnerable must feel they're almost being bullied into buying..........it's shameless, inexcusable and predatory. :wonder:

According to the forecast the weather is supposed to warm up over the next couple days..... not that he would let a little thing like that deter him.

I've tuned in for the best comedy of the eve! Don't know how much I can watch tho.

Severe weather could also mean buyers being delayed in receiving their goods.

This scaremongering is pretty cynical stuff. :headbang:

absolutely not petpixie, however, I daresay he'll manage to use it to scaremonger somehow!

Did anyone see that Apprentice episode when they bought a load of cheap old toot from a wholesaler & sold it for a couple of quid & made a huge mark up even at that? Looking at what he's selling it looks like he's been to the same wholesaler!

Why do you consider this BS when it's absolutely true?

I don't see why Mike saying the weather is bad is such
a terrible thing. I know that where he lives in the country
it was -3 at 10am today. Is that not bad weather????

I'm well aware it's cold outside so stating that isn't a 'terrible thing'.
The absolutely disgustingly, shamelessly cynical scaremongering about it, however, is a 'terrible thing'

Well actually no. That's cold but it isn't bad weather. Look at the temperatures elsewhere in Europe. Just because it's minus doesn't stop normal activity!

 

[deedee]

well said flying pigs

He doesn't want to scaremonger anyone but we could break a hip or a child could on our property. & What donut pours boiling water on their path in minus degrees?? B & Q has got stuff in very similar containers that looks like white grit. They are selling it for £5.50 for 6KG!!

Stating a fact is not scaremongering.

His mother in law fell on the ice last winter & ended up in
hospital. Accidents happen in winter. It's a fact.

I don't believe he said it stops normal activity.

 

[Flying Pigs]

We all know he has his job to do, selling as much as he can to the punters , but you personally cannot go around stating minus 3 is bad weather, because it isn't.

give it up M&M, it's blatant scaremongering, we could break a hip or a child could be badly hurt, it's scaremongering

You said bad weather, not him! Read your posts carefully!
