Random musings and general banter.

Muriel’s bought 4

Well she buys every other thing they sell, so why not this

The production manager of IW3 is Holly May Hardman and Charley Mulliner is the junior producer.

Ordered myself a Apple Tag thanks for recommending

 

[Slipalong Trevaskis]

Wow, I have only just noticed the price of this MySense kit. I can't see many people ordering them at that price.

She looks about 12. No surprise there, then.

NoEffingSense, never mind MySense

The older one seems to have picked up a chest issue, keeps coughing. Must be the studio, as it happens to most of the older presenters. Pedro and Gen are always coughing.

Surely their resident medical experts Foghorn and Jezza have a product they could sell for this?

They look like a pair that would make up fake texts.

Nicce t-shirts again, must be really struggling to shift them. I wonder who they have bought all this end of line Nicce stuff from. It is normally M & M Direct that buy it direct from the companies.

Lots of buyers coming in, must be lots of stupid people around then, wanting to buy these cheap looking and highly overpriced boxer shorts.

Nicce boxer shorts. £27.99 for 5 pairs of undercrackers.

 

[Mommabear]

See he doesn't need to cover his tatts nowadays

 

[Slipalong Trevaskis]

Why do they always go to the brands website for a prove comparisson? Hmmm, I wonder if it could be because they know it will be the most expensive price and make there price look like a bargain.

of course but it is valid and not a lie

unlike the not direct comparison similar product and no information about the source

 

[Herring]

Saw a pigeon couple toddling along a fence earlier. I couldn't help but imagine their conversation

The producer lists working as a sales assistant in Iceland as her previous position. That explains a lot.

On the face of it, that is a factual statement, but it is, to say the least, they are extremely economical with the truth.

IMO, especially in regards to watch shows on IW.

A lie? Technically maybe not, but certainly not valid when retailers know that the RRP on the brand's web site has been set ridiculously high so retailers can offer huge discounts as part of their sales/marketing strategy (Resultco watch brands openly admit this is their strategy). The fair and valid comparison is to have price comparisons with other retailers that IW are in direct competition with, not some fantasy RRP on the Brand's web site.

Decent brands have RRPs that won't be far off what the final retail price is, maybe a discount of 10-20% through retailors, and on very odd occassion you may pick up a bigger discounts, end of line/stock clearance/loss leader in a sale etc.

Shyster brands have RRPs that allow for discounts 50-80% on a regular daily basis as part of a conning the public strategy.

Shyster brands and IW go hand in hand, play from the same script, made in hell for each other. Both hope the strategy will pay dividends in sales, the brands hope they attract the ultra gullible to their web site, and through IW attract your average gullible/village idiot from the general public, IW well they just hope they attract and con any poor unfortunate out there who is tunning into the selly telly world.

 

[Duke of Cheese]

They do use sourced direct comparisons, but as has been said, these almost uniformly are RRPs from manufacturers’ websites with said RRPs that shall we say, you doubt are serious selling routes for those products.

I hope to see one day soon, the watchdog of this and other shopping channels using them, ban the use of unsourced price comparisons. It is a completely disingenuous and sharp practice, designed to mislead often vulnerable shoppers who don’t have the resources to check prices in general. Any presenter that goes with them is equally culpable in that misleading in my view, and as a group they should hang their collective heads in shame. A truly sickening strategy and one in fairness, the run by adults former versions of Ideal World never employed.

There is clearly a lack of maturity issue in who is actually running the output of this channel on a daily basis. Introducing that wretched system of misleading price comparisons is just another symptom of appointing very immature toddlers to do adult jobs.

Nah, I'm sure the true story is they managed 'to get more stock into the business and loaded into the system'

Peter is back, his days off between shifts go quick
