Legend in my book. Essential Sunday night viewing for 14 years in simpler times, I can still happily watch them on repeat now (tho I am a bit of a saddo!).

Sunday teatimes. Bit of Bully…Some jokes when jokes WERE jokes. Prize Board…24” Colour TV, Hostess Trolley…Crate of Pomagne…Finale…100 scored… Look at the Morris Marina you could have won…101 scored…Look at that bloody suite of furniture you DID win…Happier Days…

Ideal World's conveyor belt of tat often reminds me of The Generation Game…

Contestant Muriel struggled to remember the walking canes, but she did leave with a garden Buddha statue, seventeen pairs of copper socks, and a cuddly electronic toy.

Unfortunately the cuddly toy didn't meet UK safety standards so was destroyed.

Well Peter seems to have stolen Brucie's catchphrase so you're not wrong

And the caravan when you had nothing to tow it with.

Bullseye followed by Harry Secombe and Highway, which I had no choice but to watch

Sell on the kayak you buy, Mason says..Some people are doing this, he says. Make some money. Three times what you paid (£50) was mentioned as a sell on price, I think was said. Paul, John.. George and Ringo .. Winifred - can't wait to see her floating on the duck pond in it. The absolute boll...I hear touted on this open suitcase in a doorway way of selling knows no bounds..Here comes Charley (the Producer) aged 12 to sit in a plastic monstrosity (not Peter Simon) with Mason. I can just see her in Iceland, Hopping ...er..topping up the zebra burgers...The channel that tells you to do something, then not to do it....You will NEVER see a deal like that elsewhere, Mason says. Has he checked TJC?

This sales tactic seems to be getting used more these days.

 

[Duke of Cheese]

Another tactic from the gutter. In fact, buy three gutters and sell them on for three times more than you paid. Target short of gutters local authorities on eBay.

That Wilderness Inflatable Kayak looked awful!

It says it's made from "rugged PVC" but in the website images and on-screen it looks a lot more like that cheap inflatable type material you find in rubber rings sold in seaside shops (and begrudge paying more than £5.99 for).

I've been in a 'proper' inflatable kayak a few times (down Sidmouth, where a water sports company rent out surf boards, sup boards, hard-shell kayaks, and inflatable ones) and those were made from a thick, textured, tear-resistant type material, not shiny like a pair of arm bands. A sharp tongue would pop the IW version!

As for Mike bragging that people are buying it to sell for 3x the price — get real, mate! The RRP on this thing is only £79.99 to start with, so IW flogging it at £49.99 is hardly the world's biggest bargain.

Besides that, you can't move for them online. Seems they were sold off as clearance stock since every online discount store in the UK seems to have one!

Building it up with "if this was £450, we'd sell some. If this was £250, we'd sell out"... It's just not worth that money. It's a kids toy at best, nothing serious. I'd feel less self-conscious white-water rafting on an inflatable crocodile than that.

Yet another Ideal Parallel World comparison where a clapped-out banger and a Porsche are equivalent simply because they're both cars…

The two metaphorical fingers they stick up at the poor old toothless, apathetic ASA each day are so large you could smother the whole organisation with just the index one, and then place the second one clean through their ongoing ring pieces selling discrepancies filing system.

Buy the IW air fryer for £120, or choose from many others online for £60 ... or less! Comparable specs.

Great value? Aye right!

That’s what I always think of when IW are flogging the canoe.

I paid less for a Philips one and its WiFi abled. Only got the WiFi one as it was on special and cheaper than the regular one.
