Random musings and general banter.

Oh we're turning off the heating again, bet we get the whole central heating heats the whole house, wasting money story again, shame thermostatic radiator valves don't exist in the IW presenter's world like they do for the majority of central heating systems in the UK, then they'd realise you don't have to heat the whole house when the central heating is on.

Nah, not unless the ceramic radiators make a comeback, these wee fan heaters don't need explaining and they don't have big ceramic panels that can be used in a demo like the radiators had.

The heaters are also cheaper on B & Q and through Daewoo on ebay.

Surely they're not still doing the 'laws of physics don't apply to Ideal World' demonstrations of heaters 'making' energy?

Perched on some rattan, pointing a thermo-gun at IW wondering why he wasn't considered good enough for a job…

Not her greatest show this evening. But selling awful looking blankets, terribly dull old lady scarves and boring fan heaters doesn’t really offer the her the tools to create one. Old lady ornaments for Granny’s toilet now. The stuff they try and sell beggars belief at times.

I think it comes down to the products they sell. What I've seen its either cheap tat or those mega expensive Opartra devices, I'd never heard of these products but they are a considered purchase.

 

[Duke of Cheese]

You suspect that this is going to be the business model from now on. Maybe they are going to get a new studio, who knows? You wonder though, why they will actually need one with the vast majority of the products that they sell being smaller items that can be put on a demonstration counter - similar to what they have already as facilities. I just cannot see them suddenly producing bigger name brands in any number (ones that you find on the high street or on other major online retailers). They’ve been going for getting on for six months now, and I think if they were going to go in that direction, you would’ve seen at least some small sign of it by now. I suppose, in a sense, the better paid presenters couldn’t care less whether the goods they sell are unknown and low rent, or well-known and higher-priced. they are being paid well regardless.

Sally mentions this Buy a Meal Thing, says the meals go to the UK and India, Why India when there are loads of Kids in the UK who don’t get proper meals

How do these meals get to people, do IW have a database of Low Income Families

 

[Duke of Cheese]

The whole thing doesn’t sit well with me. If they want to do such a thing, then why not do it unannounced, and donate to a charity deals with that issue.

Meals for India because TJC is an Indian owned company.

They don't provide meals directly themselves they donate money to Magic Breakfast charity, the meal IW are giving UK kids is a 27p breakfast.

Sally, sitting on the sofa, surrounded by blankets, scaremongering. I am sure her house is full of this stuff. Oh and that awful accent.. What a way to earn a living.

 

[Jazzydrury]

my social family blah blah

Maybe they need a show with Sally and Jess, you could have 4 hours on my social family, and our little boys

 

[Duke of Cheese]

I came in from work and managed about a minute of her. She is completely unwatchable for anything other than a period of seconds.

Sausages wouldn't be considered healthy more like some cereal or a bit of toast.

TJC have a deal with magic breakfast to povide up to a max of 192,857 breakfasts for UK kids between 1st April 2022 - 31st March 2024.
