Canes again, they really are taking the pee.

 

[Deleted member 21838]

People don’t come out to or respond to burglar alarms, car alarms, nuclear attack sirens..But they apparently do come out to Corgi Police Car sounding ones, for people who’ve fallen using a cane that helps stops you from er…falling..

Are they really going to still be in business to honour the extended guarantees they keep going on about and when they say use the item and get a full refund is a load of rubbish.

Like the electric bikes they’ve been selling where they encourage people to try them out, then return them for every pound and penny of their monies back…Really?? Not according to those returning items rules. At least the old Ideal World made clear their return policies in every gory detail. I’ve never heard this new version go into them whatsoever.

And with the arrival of Only My Voice Will Be Heard or Allowed, I wish you goodnight….

I am assuming she’s a member of studio staff told to get in front of camera with no additional fee for doing so? I can’t see them being generous enough to pay for a external model to do it. Never have I seen such a shambles, that remains a visual one weeks in now. It makes Shop Extra seem like QVC.

they're mostly interns because Mike was parading Melvin and Gabriel the other day

If you like Tudor watches but not the price tag, check San Martin watches excellent quality

It’s a great start when 25% of their homepage is given over to an announcement not to go to a different website who might or might not be selling their watches but are nothing to do with them.
A bit like going to Marks and Spencer to see a warning, covering a quarter of the screen not to be taken in by Karl Marx, or Frank Spencer, who are ’nothing to do with us’.
I suppose the best we can say is they aren’t hiding the fact that they are made in Guangdong!

 

[Professor Branestawm]

at least it is Whirlpool a recognisable brand

Aren’t Hotpoint owned by Whirlpool?
I suppose then that the brand is recognised.
By firemen and firewomen the length and breadth of the land….

Takes four D batteries, he said. Not that he dwelt too long on that issue. Not the cheapest sized battery. I would imagine you are looking at £6 to £8 for a named brand. I had an electrician fit my exterior security lights some years back now. Money well spent, too, with them all still working. I would suspect that thing wouldn’t be here working after a similar period - the light, not Mason..

You might be right about Mikey as well!

 

[Professor Branestawm]

Kev has had a dig at old IW, upstairs are sending these watches out by DPD Tracked, not like the other company, where they were possibly sent on the back of a bus

He seems not to have considered that he’s been quite happy these last ten years to use that other company as a primary sales channel and to dispatch all his stock on ‘the back of a bus’.
They all seem to forget that, surely, having a go at their previous employer for its poor service must indicate that they knew of thise issues, but were happy to sell their products , just as long as they got paid?

 

[Professor Branestawm]

Please God, no.. Not that film your drunken old dad setting fire to the curtains without his permission spy camera watch… Thankfully, I only have Mason’s movements and no sound combined with my newly acquired from eBay 1970s’ Grundig Yacht Boy radio, listening to Greatest Hits Radio to help me get through it all..

One of the best portable radios ever made. I wish I still had mine!

Another hour of complete and utter bullsheet about an overpriced pot of skin cream with a bit of bird oil it (% amount not actually clarified)

alternate perspective on it here :

Emu Oil: Health Claims vs. What the Research Says

Emu oil products claim to improve skin and hair and treat certain medical conditions, but there is limited research on their safety and effectiveness.

www.verywellhealth.com

The Wikipedia article on Emu Oil contains perhaps the most damning sentence I’ve ever read about a product being sold for its health effects…

’The U.S. Food and Drug Administration highlighted emu oils in a 2009 article on "How to Spot Health Fraud"’

 

[Deleted member 21838]

It reminded me of what you would think a potions and lotions presentation coming from one of those travelling medicine wagons in the days of the Wild West could be like. Or reading about the grand but unsupported medicinal qualities of all sorts of weird and wonderful products and devices when thumbing through the pages of 1930s’ newspapers.

We've literally got 1s and 2s of these guys, the phones are going mad.....Damon can I ask how many of these watches we have?? guys we are down to single figures.....

All said in one go by Mike of the Masons.

So many contradictions in such a short statement!! Its just like listening to Pedro all so predictable.

I hopped on to the YT feed for a few secs last night and they were flogging a watch for £500. Can't recall the brand but it's the one they also do on TJC, saying how you're saving thousands.

Sorry but if I'm spending £500 on a watch, even more so if it's a gift, I'd rather the brand was a known brand for quality with a degree of history behind it.

Yeah it's like someone else said, it's almost as if they broadcast thinking the viewers only watch them once or twice a year. Do they not realise quite a few viewers will be regulars (is that not what they want? family, friendship, fun) and will pick up on the inconsistencies of their drivel.

It's evident they treat their viewers and by consequence customers with nothing but contempt.
