They really need to sort the audio levels out. The mics are peaking quite a lot. The simplest way is to position the mic further down especially for the shouty ones like Jacks and Mason
He better keep away from the cliff edge then, huge cliff fall in Ventor and some houses are now teetering on the edge.I've heard Lee in Ventnor is after a cheap dashcam for scooting around the Isle of Wight and he is after some William Hunt aftershave.......
I have wondered on the occasions when they sell the same product, on both channels at the same time, wether they use the opportunity to compare sales figures.I would be interested to know whether TJC are happy with the performance of the ‘new’ IW.
Using Hammy again. This always seems to coincide with when they read something they don’t like on these forums, and decide to use forum usernames for one of their ridiculous texts. Essentially sticking two fingers up at it.
I think you bought a dash can..
get one for your shopping trolley or maybe your baskets so you can check them outOh a dash cam, always wanted one of those, just need to get a car first though.
Don't forget the flash watch that you'll be wearing, that's always a conversation starter in pubs as well. Mason said once, when you walk in a pub wearing this, conversation will stop and all eyes will be upon you. I think that's probably just him, as in "who is this prat who's just strutted in".I need to sit down. He’s hit me with an opportunity that I can’t believe he’s going to hit me with again. Even he can’t believe he’s going to hit me with this opportunity that he’s going to hit me with. It’s an opportunity to be hit with that I thought I’d been hit with enough this December, and believed the promises that I wouldn’t be hit with it again. But nonetheless, I’m going to be hit again with William Hunt, Yet another opportunity to cover myself in it, put on a Tamsy flying jacket and place myself on a tall bar stool in the Ferret and Merkin and look for bearded, shaven headed men and women to approach me and ask me what I’ve got on.. He’s telling me I’m going to feel special, sexy, masculine. I’m even going to get a free, whistling returned stock cane to spin with as I fall through the public bar doors…drenched in William Hunt. The system has melted - allegedly.
I wonder how IW would feel if one of us shared this on social media. Let people know that the channel is so pathetic that staff trawl a forum to use screen names of people who criticise their sales techniques and awful products to make claims of things we've bought or how much we love the show. People might wonder why they have to do this. And it seems odd that people email or text with names like Hammy or Muttley, clearly screen names, why don't people just give their first names?Using Hammy again.

But but but it’s not even 10am yet?Just turned over and it’s Beauty until 2pm, no thanks
A focus group would be good, I'd join it. As you say, they just see the negative comments. If they removed Peter Simon (unfunny, gross innuendos and generally useless); Mike Mason (often aggressive and patronising) and Sally Jacks (loud and shouty) then they might get a more balanced view.I did ask this earlier. The point about creating (if indeed, they are creating) usernames for text messages et cetera that they then regularly broadcast on air. Messages that essentially praise the products they are selling. Nothing wrong with that as long as the text messages ARE genuine. For me it stretches credibility to believe that they have real people regularly texting in with what are in essence, unusual usernames, and ones particular to this forum.
If they could see through their own annoyance, they could actually pick up good points here on how to present to the public a decent shopping channel. People aren’t just on a negativity trail on the forum all the time. The rare times that something good happens (like that Heather girl, for example), positive feedback is posted. If they asked themselves the question why are people apparently against us here, perhaps they could see the answer is that is because they are not putting out a very good standard of presentation in terms of giving people informed choice to buy, and we are just offering our critiques of that most of the time. Why don’t they want to learn from feedback instead of just behaving like children cribbing usernames etc.? The likes of Rob Locke (an intelligent adult without an ego) takes time and trouble to seek our opinion, as he and others like Grant the tech guy presumably see years of watching the genre as offering views worth hearing. It’s no coincidence therefore that his shopping channel offers a much better presented service to the public.
