Random musings and general banter.

Rule of thumb.If they are £1795 on their website but they sell them for £449.99 on a home shopping channel they are not worth even half that £1795.

Plus you can add that it's probably got a basic Ronda quartz movement, the fact they don't tell you what movement is in it is telling also, then even £449 is steep.

This heater is £21.99 on Amazon.

ah a familiar face !! I note TJC do how many left and IW do not

I think IW Mk 3 don’t show the numbers available or sold as if they are quite low, it may put customers of buying and they can’t create a buying frenzy.

Now I know some people are tight on money, but a bottle of £8.99 scent for the one you love on Valentine’s Day?? Seriously? She would chuck it at me and go home if I did that. I think he may have forgotten with his product presentation that even if you did spend £8.99 on some cheap scent for an enemy for Valentine’s Day, it still wouldn’t get there on time now.

This is the thing, rightly or wrongly, especially when gifting for a loved one, most people like to give a branded gift when they can. I suppose the target market for IW is the type of consumer (and I'm not poking fun when I type this) who for whatever reason buy from street markets, car boot sales and discount stores. As we've said many times before, the likes of IW know how to target these consumers e.g. with references to much more expensive products and so on.

They used to sell a lot of items on the old Ideal World. When they went into administration, the book debts for FlexiPlay were £10k short of £3 million.

Is this guy being serious? Advising us not to ‘waste people’s time’ by seeking additional medical advice about blood pressure etc. when you can rely on a £40 watch. Is there no continuity of presenting here? Does each presenter just say and do what they like? Mason, at least, with his presentation of the watch, made it completely clear that this was not a medical device. This idiot did not.

There have been articles about such devices that do multiple things and the varying accuracy of the results. If one of the presenters did suggest such a device can be used in place of professional medical advice, they're an idiot. Even more so given the product IW was likely selling would be at the cheaper end of the market.

Hopped on to the YT feed and happened across a very awkward moment. Mike M waxing lyrical about a vac, Peter V standing in the background holding said vac but apparently not knowing where to look. All jokes aside Peter V's done enough presenting not to be in that sort of position. He was looking down, up, off to the side, gazing at the vac, anywhere but to the camera.

It just came across as awkward.

Yeah, I reckon it's almost guaranteed if they were shifting more product they'd slap the numbers on screen.

Proscenic vacuum again at 3. Proscenic Air Fryer again at 4. Think I will give The Skinny Food Co. on Create and Craft a watch at 3.

Is Gen unable to demo the vacuum on her own. They are determined to get Peter V back on screen. Only a matter of time before he has his own shows.

 

[Duke of Cheese]

I wonder what vacuum Mr. and Mrs van Dyshonne use?

Essentially, he was suggesting by implication not to ‘waste people’s time’. He didn’t name their roles, but the natural and fair extension to his comments about checking your own blood pressure instead with the watch, directly linked to the previous time wasting remark. So it wasn’t wasting your dustman’s time. Now, if this watch is not pinpoint accurate, and gives you say, a normal blood pressure when the reality, with dedicated medical blood pressure taking equipment, gives you a high blood pressure result instead, by not wasting people’s time, you potentially leave a serious condition undiagnosed. WASTE PEOPLE’s TIME!! Get your blood pressure checked by a GP or a nurse. Many GPs had two years off from face to face consultations during Coronavirus. My wife was misdiagnosed over the phone by one and subsequently died from sepsis. ‘Waste’ their ****** time, and get yourself checked properly.

Always shop around first. I promise less than £50.

I agree with you, however I feel the home/personal monitoring devices do have their place if you buy decent ones that are accredited for such use. They enable people to self monitor things like blood pressure without the slight anxiety that can arise when having it taken in the surgery.

Text seems more clearer,

Yes, I like it.

Old "chef" young Ken Barlow always gives me the impression he could say something IW mk3 dont want him to say

 

[Duke of Cheese]

To me, he has nerves at times and that can make a loose cannon.

I’m sure that wax jacket was £49.99 yesterday?

The womens one was that price.

 

[Slipalong Trevaskis]

Just over £30. No idea on postage cost.
