Random musings and general banter.

Interesting to hear them scaremonger over apparent forthcoming temperatures. What they tell us appears to bear no relation whatsoever to what I see on the BBC Weather app. That said, Ideal World clearly has a better link to the Met Office than the BBC does. Hence they can proudly state with confidence it will be 180 degrees Celsius in the air fryer er ..shade next week and not the 20 degrees I can see. Bast…s

Also, the out of work actress lady has two jobs at IW she says. Along with being an expert on the weather, she is also an interior design expert in her second job with the company. Does that mean they pay her a number of different wages with two national insurance numbers? Or is the truth she gets one fee for pretending to be a presenter and an expert on everything?

She'll only have one National Insurance number, which is relating to the individual and not to jobs etc, you could have 10 jobs but it's still the same NI no.

I would imagine they may have different rates, depending on which jobs they do, but it will all be in one payment. With them being freelance, therefore self employed, i would assume they invoice (for tax purposes etc) IW with the hours and rate of payments agreed for those hours (possible a week or month at a time) and which IW will then pay in due course.

Of course some of them may also be getting paid by the company who's product they are guests expert/representatives for?

Sally says Elton John loves the 9.99 fragrance

 

[harrytumkins]

Sally

"you MUST wear different shoes everyday you MUST"

cost of living crisis what cost of living crisis


Shelia the model says "you can wear these all the time everyday"

Sally says "yep every day"

She doesn't even realise what she is saying

 

[harrytumkins]

A rare mention of actual sales figures from Sally there

"We have sold 230 of these fragrances this morning they are FLYING"

That is over a couple of hours ok they don't focus on the fragrance for that long but she mentioned it enough in the 10 minutes I have watched and that is classed as flying?

The TJC cheap fragrances will regularly sell 200-400 in a 5 minute slot

IF that is considered flying then I think I have spotted one of the issues

I’m guessing Shaun Ryan and Den aren’t freelance after being on the channel over 20 years

He rings it if anybody comes anywhere near him with it.

I think both are, shall we say, uniquely employable to Ideal World.

Had to buy a new TV yesterday, I now see every line and every wrinkle of a IW presenter even clearer

More bizarre goings on with the pricing between channels

The bengaline trouser/legging/whatever it is

Very quickly shown on Ideal World earlier at £6.99

The exact same item even the same colour an hour later on TJC at £19.99.....

Often IW do those 2 for £20 or £25 if I remember rightly

 

[harrytumkins]

That was the deal I remembered from a way back

Just the third cheaper today....

 

[Jazzydrury]

And at 2 for £20 they used to blow the internet

 

[harrytumkins]

This seems the best thread to say this without spamming as I won't mention the channel name

Bear in mind I have no idea what I am doing with youtube but I have set up a youtube channel mainly because I am watching so much shopping tv at present that I may as well do something "productive" with it (dubious wording

Anyway If anybody spots anything particularly funny and/or dubious selling practices (i think the watch shows may be busy) please drop me a PM on here or mention on the thread and I will try my best to go back and capture it

Thanks

They either sell not many or they have a endless supply

 

[Jazzydrury]

Pete tells you you shouldn’t open your windows, or you will have your remake of the film the flys on your hands

Shaun said they sold 2/3rds of the stock, given how many shows it's been on, so i would assume it's slow selling.

 

[Jazzydrury]

Shaun surprises me in a way, he worked on the channel before it turned all BS, he should know better

 

[Jazzydrury]

Up until midnight, its full of Air Cons, and Rattan Furniture

 

[Jazzydrury]

They have a rattan furniture repeat on at 8pm it’s not a good look
