Random musings and general banter.

[Hammy60]

We're in cloud cukoo land again, Miss Precision spouting absolute nonsense about Duchamp, Swiss brand, loads of Swiss Heritage blah blah.

Has this presenter doing the watches now been on the old IW or is she part of the TJC presenters?

Emma is from the old IW, well known, wouldn't trust a word she says, fitted in well with the shysters at IW.

Emma's showing use an Christopher Duchump watch that's not even working. Stunning

 

[Niwa]

Stunning, Stunning, Stunning I meant to add

 

[Herring]

How he has lasted so long is a mystery. Hard to believe but his ridiculous antics must move product. When someone swears a lot, you tend to become immune to bad language, the shock value fades. I suppose it's similar with him, everyone accepts he's an *****; Peter's just made an outrageous claim, Peter's just told a dirty joke, Peter's implied that the first flexi is the total price. So what? Move on.

But it never sits easy with me and I think quite a lot of us on here. We expect higher standards of honesty and decency but this irritating man lives in a time warp and is well beyond his own sell by date.

HE'S WON AWARDS FOR THIS, REMEMBER!

 

[Duke of Cheese]

I’ve looked for a list of them online. I can’t find them currently. Or the one for their award winning director, Garth Algar.

 

[Lord Helpus]

I would give Peter Simon an award -

The biggest plonker on tv since Rodney Trotter.

And Rodney was far more likeable, decent an honest.

Potpourri.

 

[Lord Helpus]

Another Plonker, Mike of the Masons, was selling handbags last night and claiming that the strap alone would sell 'all day long' for £20.

This is yet another of their ploys, separate part of the product and give it a vastly overpriced value. They do it with watch straps too.

Total hype. I found replacement leather over the shoulder handbag straps on ebay for a few quid.

I challenge Mike to take a stall at say Romford market and stand there all day flogging straps for £20 each. Bring your sheepskin coat and flask though Mike, it may be a long day.

 

[Duke of Cheese]

He’s a great salesman. Describes ‘The Dream’ really well. Unfortunately, only a very limited market dreams of £9.99 on a regular basis. That and aftershave named after a cut of meat.

 

[Jazzydrury]

Mike could be a assistant to the guy who sells the Shammys

He sounds like he is used to markets

 

[Duke of Cheese]

This guy today makes Jess seem like a baby found in a basket outside the police station. His little boy this, his little boy that, his wife, his mum, his dad…A relative for every scenario and every product. We all know why he’s doing it. But some other sales techniques would certainly help.

Yiannis was just grey and boring on Create he soon learnt hard sell

He's just as boring on IW3.

The handbags he is trying to flog at £29.99 were being sold at £49.99 he says. Well they didn't sell out then did they?

 

[Battiola73]

That’s what I think too. Same school of presenting as Boring Bradford. Yianus was known as Creepy Man in our house, always switched off when he was on.

 

[Jazzydrury]

Think Dave is at Hobbymaker currently

 

[Lord Helpus]

Yiannis doing the old GRAND MONT GRAND THEFT routine.

Worth £1750 ? Where ? The Christianis Duchianis web site of course.

I'm sorry for anyone who thinks this guy is different, his softer style is for sure but not his ethics. If your only comparison the manufacturers own Web shop then you have no credibility. And he keeps bigging up the value to watch collectors but they won't touch this. Its Swiss movement not made.

Oh Yiannis, you might like to play at secret agents but James Bond wouldn't wear this.

 

[galesgal57]

Oh look! It's the Grand Mont again (again, again, again). You're not telling me they don't have a container load of these in the warehouse.

 

[Jazzydrury]

Heirloom pieces, he’s been listening to Peter too much

 

[galesgal57]

At least get the name right, Yannis. It's Christophe not Christopher. Anyone listening would think the brand wasn't Swiss at all.
