I am starting to dislike him less, I have to admit. I thought his pantoesque gag about where has your career gone - behind you, showed a great sense of irony. Can’t be easy for somebody with a half decent TV career behind them to turn up in a broom cupboard, selling bargain basement goods.

Peter Simon would never come out with that gag, At least Jeremy clearly realises he career isn’t what it was, where as Peter still thinks he is a list
 
I don‘t like aftershave presented in test tubes or specimen bottles. I also don’t want to spray something with a name making me think of meat on me. Giving the guy tester bottles (was he?) to use just emphasises the low rent nature of the place if so. I thought he came up with a very good and creative sales tactic in focusing on the safety nature of having a metal case when travelling to avoid suitcase type breakages. Rather than saying their grandad uses it like some others do on there. they keep focusing on the fact they are selling it for half price every time it appears. Have they ever actually sold it for full price?

Darren texted in, that he paid £1700 for the Christophe Duchamp Raidillon watch and has no regrets. :eek:

All i can say is either Darren doesn't exist (Fake text) or he's an idiot that should have his wallet confiscated. ;)

There's a phrase/term for it in psychology that I can't recall however I suppose it's akin to being a people pleaser. Maybe not the best analogy but a bit like someone who's an avid fan of a celeb, so they buy literally every bit of merchandise the celeb releases even if it's tat, even if it's over priced and even if they don't need it. They see it almost as their duty and hope it will please the celeb, even though the celeb most likely doesn't even know the person exists.

I recall someone emailing/texting in to the other channel that launched last year (with ex IW folk but didn't last long.) I think there had been an hour with Simon during which he'd flogged 3 or 4 different things. The person who contacted them said along the lines of 'welcome back, I've been sure to order everything from the last hour!'

Did the viewer need all those things? Most likely not. However they wanted to please the channel and the presenters.

A selly telly channels dream viewer and they know what buttons to press to engage with such viewers ;)

Family, friendship, fun.
Watch, shop, smile.
 
It is interesting to speculate that if you were somebody viewing who was lonely and socially isolated, someone was trying to get a sense of friendship with both the channel and the presenters, would they actually buy things and make the channel aware of it - like giving sweets away in the playground to buy the affection of your school mates?
 
It really seems like he has turned up with absolutely no preparation at all this morning. Not his fault I am sure. They probably just don’t get any. He just thought William Hunt was a customer rather than an alternative fragrance. Don’t worry…… I’m sure he’ll meet him soon…They should have told him ‘Hammy’ (pronounced ‘Aimee’) was a new fragrance to flog, rather than the channel’s main buyer and texter.
