Random musings and general banter.

Buy three handbags..Buy ten dash-cams…Buy five hundred canes… They try this tactic all too desperately frequently. And often for the most unlikely types of items. They are often telling you to buy more than one…two…three…Yet there appears little incentive to do so offered in practical terms. If I’m going buy three plastic leopard skin handbags (I wouldn’t actually buy one), I would expect to have some sort of incentive of a price reduction as you would often get in high street shops where you are multi-buying their goods. But not on here you don’t. This may be the last time you see this handbag, she says. Somehow, I doubt that.

I also find it like a ‘power play’.
Sort of ‘we can use your name as often as we like, and put whatever words we like into your mouth whenever we want’. I actually find it very nasty, not at all amusing, and very similar to abusive stalking. Certainly not professional, nor anything like their ‘family first’ image (not that I believe in THAT from IW).
I think Muttley, Jazzy, and especially Hammy, who are all incredibly good-natured about it, must have the patience of saints….

…and by that, I don’t mean ‘Saintslad’!!!

It makes me laugh, it proves that they're dodgy market stall shysters. We knew that. And they're proving it. If they had real buyers they wouldn't have to use our names. If they were making millions they wouldn't care about what people say about them on this forum.

But if they really want me to send text messages, I will happily do that. I know quite a variety of swear words. Let's see if they read those ones out!

Only thing what concerns me is, Since I had a stroke at 14, I have been protected by my family, and have always been warned giving out too much info, I don’t mind you lot calling me Emma as I know I can trust you.

I’m now 47, and even though i went through Rehab, I still have walking, some talking issues, and memory issues, My folks would probably stop me from using forums If I was honest with them.

Sorry it’s not shopping related but I had to let out my thoughts

your parents aren’t wrong about forums in general. I’ve been on some scary ones in the past. My first one Years ago was a channel 4 big brother forum, needed a Kevlar jacket and a helmet to post on there. On the other side during my time posting on there i also made a group of friends I’m still in touch with today.

 

[Duke of Cheese]

I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t read out a text from the real Hammy or the real Muttley. It’s almost like they’ve taken ownership of those forum handles for their own exclusive use.

But I’ve not given out real name in my user name, I did text in 2 times way back about Pillows and a coat

Mikes on now, I know some see him the same as Peter, but at least Mike is a laugh

 

[Duke of Cheese]

He probably doesn’t go around saying he used to be on Junior Showtime to anyone who’ll listen.

 

[Jazzydrury]

Unlike Peter, you can tell Mike realises some of the stuff he is flogging is rubbish

Charlie has just Been on screen she only looks early 20s

And she's a producer, no wonder it's run like a amateurish kid's show.

Did you see her also Hammy

 

[Hammy60]

Yeah, looked like a kid, probably a media student straight out of some local college. I've also seen a few others pop their faces in camera for a few seconds, mostly the floor managers, a real scruffy weird unproffesional looking bunch, so i'm not surprised one little bit at the crappy production performance, the childish fake texts etc.

Was just thinking how much the girl (producer/floor manager?), can't remember her name off hand, that appeared on shop extra a few times during demos, she was dressed smart/tidy, hair done etc, actually looked like she knew what she was doing, looked the exact opposite to the staff on IW.

Thing is the presenters have been on a good few rodeo's in the past and they know exactly what they are doing when reading out the same texters names time after time after time, I hope they arent doing it to put people off posting on here.......

By what I can gather it seems a lot of the old IW Producers who must have worked for IW/Shop Extra stayed on at Create and Craft

I think the girl i'm thinking of was from create and craft originally, don't think she was one of those brought in from the old IW, she seemed to be a bit like Becs, start off on the production side (producer/floor manager/show director) but would like try her hand at being a demonstrator.

Selling a solar light in winter Price looks good. I know from experience (having a very similar one at front of house) that will not be a great product, a pale shadow of a mains one it just about generates enough to light in a space but it is feeble and not up to high traffic areas where it gets triggered a few times.

Bottom line - More shyte.

No not her, been checking through the shop extra thread to find her, it was Molly, she was the floor manager on shop extra. Think it was a beauty product she was helping the demo, oh just remembered she was dragged on by Den during a sunglasses show to model the sunglasses.
