Random musings and general banter.

What’s their target fashion audience? I cannot picture it in terms of the demographic? Poor eyesight and having no taste are two possibles. Teddy Bear coat for walking the dog, she says. Perfect disaster combined with one of those cheap leads they sell to go with it.

I think they are trying to offer what they think is fashion suitable to women of every age and size without ever entering a store. But, from what I read on the facebook page some people think it's dreadful, and others who have ordered items, returned due to not being up to expectations.

Christ, so far this evening it's been the shopping TV equivalant of one of them catalogues you get inside the Sunday newspapers, or one of the adverts in the back of the papers, with the items old mickey has been flogging tonight. Absolute garbage.

Yeah my dad always calls them 'seebackrocopes' these must have items in magazine back in the 60s

The goods get more low rent..Definitely F*** Right Off - £6.99 perfume…Great Valentine’s Day for an ex you loathed….Now what…Fluff Rollers from Ronco for £7.99..Can you haggle with the man at the folding table tonight…It’s like being taken back to 1974, when you looked through the windows at what you couldn’t afford in The Green Shield Stamps showroom.. We’re not moving on so quickly because nobody wants it, he says. Sure you’re not. Dash Cams…Please God no more…

Sewing kit now. I have no more words..

Mason is as good with a neddle and thread as he is at changing links on a watch bracelet.

 

[Duke of Cheese]

Somebody stitched him up giving that to sell…You have to admire his determination not to give in on it. I never knew he was blind in one eye. Fair play to him for doing that.

 

[Duke of Cheese]

Has he actually changed his surname to Ofthemasons?

Watching this it’s almost like Mike made the mistake of boasting that he’s the best salesman on TV and can sell snow to the Eskimos and someone has chaiienged him to prove it

 

[Duke of Cheese]

The guy is clearly driven. Basic start in life according to what he says about himself. Then an electrician, and now a couple of decades working in shopping television, on what you would suspect has been a good living. How he lost his sight in one eye, we don’t know how, but I know I would dread to lose 50% of my eyesight. I dislike a lot of his rhetoric, and a lot of his sales techniques, but you cannot question that he is a fighter. He probably sees selling these low rent goods as another challenge, and you have to say he appears to give his all in trying to do so.

 

[Duke of Cheese]

You would just love him coming in on a busy shift in a petrol station and start haggling over fuel he’d put in his Triumph Toledo. You would be strongly pressed to tell him to pay up and then foxtrot oscar, and if he didn’t and did, report him for bilking…

 

[Duke of Cheese]

Please stop saying Lumpy Bumpy…Please…

Mikes top tip for this evening *he make no claims.......alas he will still give you his tip.

For God’s sake learn about human body temperatures before you sell thermometers.

I was just wondering how that sits with data protection rules - Gallery staff being able to look at people’s baskets, and knowing and broadcasting if they have completed their purchases or not? I thought you only provided your name after you begin checking out? How do they see customer names?

You would have to log in to put anything in your basket, so they could tell that way, and also when you check out, which is how they know how many products have sold out. Not sure if Jane from Luton hasn’t checked out is enough to be a GDPR issue.

Fair comment. Nonetheless, the tactic doesn’t sit well with me. It wasn’t done on previous versions of the channel. It isn’t done on QVC. If I was a customer of theirs, I wouldn’t want my partial details, and or what I was buying read out on-air. I wouldn’t want to know when I signed into my account, people in a television studio could also be logged-in to my shopping activity and saw fit to publicise that as part of their broadcasts.

I don’t disagree with you, I don’t like it either, and it’s common on TJC, so no surprise that it’s now on IW.

and when I brought the headphones on IW they said thanks Ian ... so it is not fake ... not at least like that

I will not hear a word against Midge!! He bought me a drink in Berlin once.
