Jeremy or whatever his name is needs to hang his head in shame.

Caught some of him flogging watches last night. He said something along these lines:

You might be looking at this watch thinking 'I can't afford £499.99' but I say no, don't look at it like that. What's the saying, we only ever regret the things we don't do. So if you like this watch and can afford the first flexi, get it home ...

Essentially advising viewers even if they can't afford the product, buy it anyway. I know most of them do this to varying degrees, however not always as blatant as that.
 
Peter Vandenaveabuy was an expert on roof paint one moment and pillows the next.
Has to be said, he didn't come over on being very expert on either.
Apparently silentnight are the pillow kings - I'm sure I heard an "expert" saying GX blew all the others out of the water, or was it memory foam?

The ones he was flogging came in firm or soft - naturally, he'd buy a pair of both 😂

That is one reason the old IW folded as they lost money due to viewers buying stuff on Flexis and not having money to pay rest, does Jeremy want to loose this job, at this rate he would have begun his career at Hollyoaks, and end it being a cleaner for Argos

There’s only so much news about knuckle-dragging, nationalistic idiots I can take so I’ve flicked over from breakfast TV to I.W. I now find my toes curling with embarrassment watching Natalia. It’s all “you guys”, “my darlings”, “my angels”, ‘oooooooo’, ‘ahhhhhhhh’ carefully perched on the edge of a sofa (gotta find a flattering pose) and all while clad in skin tight leather (pleather?) and lace - it was 6am! If this coupled with constant preening, a face that’s tighter than a drum and artificially plumped lips is what middle-age women are supposedly aspiring to, then I feel utterly depressed.

I’d like to think I’m a strong minded, intelligent female who also loves style and reputable beauty but Natalia seems to delight in coming across like a 70s game show assistant for whom ‘dolly bird’ looks are an obsession. The biggest punch in the gut for me though is the relentless ‘iron fist in a velvet glove’ routine - ‘just look at the what the price SHOULD be, you guys!’. Currently a duo of handheld beauty devices…combined RRP of £8.5k!!! This morning’s I.W price is £450 🤬🤬🤬. And to think she has a serum called ‘One Truth’ alongside her - oh, the irony.

Give me strength! What a bunch of con artists.

(I know I sound like a broken record but all this vacuous-glam fakery is really getting on my thru’ penny bits! I’ve no issue with beauty devices just don’t fekking lie about the one’s you’re selling!) 🤯🤯🤣🤣

Skin tight leather at 6am? Glad I missed that one, totally agree with you about all this. I just love to have someone pumped full of Botox lecturing me on skincare products.

I notice she sits at a sideways angle to get the best shot of herself. I'll have to try that when I'm taking minutes for a Civil Service meeting, I'm sure it will impress them all.

Can't stand all the 'my darlings' routine, she's not our friend, none of them are despite many of them trying to give that impression. Although Peter is clearly a good friend to 'Muriel'. Sources close to me disclosed that he sent her a signed photo of himself emerging from a lake wearing a wet white shirt (Pride and Prejudice fans will know what I'm talking about😂).

If I was Ideal World, I would go to Alex Knowles and say what would it take for you to be our main demostrator, Good Honest Guy, Keep Peter V but have him as 3rd Reserve, that Olivia was better than him

I can tell you having spoken to him that he would like to, personally I would endorse it as Alex is hard working, likes to do the right thing and enjoys being in the industry but it appears IW is not a company that has 'common sense' as a key skill.

Mister Arsey! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
 
None of them are remotely our friends. You don’t shaft your friends on a regular basis with shonky price comparisons cut and pasted and the source blanked out with virtual Tippex. You don’t actively mislead your friends by guiding them to manufacturer websites with completely unrealistic RRPs to presumably assist mass exterior sellers at a fraction of those RRPs. You don’t slag off your own informed choice expensive purchases to somehow justify it is better buying the cheap ones you present - not to your mates, you wouldn’t. Rob isn’t your friend and rightly so doesn’t set out to be, either. But what he IS is the nearest thing to an honest seller they have there.

But which mattress?
A memory foam mattress - they're like sleeping on a cloud, except if an "expert" tells you they're too hot.
Or a hybrid - as long as you've done a bowling ball test.
You don't want springs, unless an 'expert' tells you springs are needed.
Or, if there's a Y in the day, a mulberry silk mattress is best.

Overall, you're best multi-buying the mattresses and piling them up.
Means you can only get into bed using one of the folding ladders, ok, but well worth it

I'm reliably informed that they definitely all sleep on the mattresses that were the best of the best (I know that, 'cos an expert told me on screen and they never lie).....hang on, though, it could have been the best of the best of the best? Or was it the one where the test with the balls had been done (if you'll pardon the expression)?

Anyway, I think your idea of piling the mattresses up and sleeping on all of them (using a crane to get into bed, of course, or being winched in, by a helicopter - other methods are available) is a very good one - that way we can all have the pick of the best mattresses that were the best at any particular time.

I'm getting vibes here of the princess and the pea fairy story as well....
