Tribute perfumes hour with Kwai Chang Caine and a giggling, sycophantic YTS trainee….Somebody hold me back…CAPITAL S for Sport, by the way…

'Inspired by ...'

What a load of old sh1t.

In other words, you're buying a cheap knock-off version of something.

Hate autocorrect. I don’t have cereal heating but central heating🤣

I think the person who invented autocorrect should go to hello🤣🤣🤣

A pity Hodgson and one or two very early Ideal Would female presenters weren’t employed with the task of launching the new version of Ideal World.

After the way he conducted himself as a manager at IW pre-Aurelius, I can't imagine anyone who was turfed out of there would have consciously gone and worked at TJC's version if they knew Andy was playing its piano. 🤣

What on earth did he do? Seems to be one of their better presenters!

Okay I give them their due, sometimes they do have a genuine bargain.

Showing now ... roll up roll up ... grab 'em while you can ...

32 x AA Philips batteries for £14.99 plus p&p. Great value.

Ok night all.

Oh emmmm wait a sec, I'm ... just ... doing ... a ... quick ... Google ... search. I'm sure I won't find better value than IW.

Oh dear, oh deeeeeeeear

60 x AA Kodak batteries on Amazon for £19.99.

IW, the home of (not) real bargains

ALDI sell their own branded alkaline batteries usually close to the tills. I believe they do AA & AAA in packs of ten for £2.50.
I say, I believe, as I only gave them a passing glance as I don't often buy disposable batteries, except for remote controls or clocks.
I prefer to use rechargeable NiMh batteries.
When required, I tend to get these from LIDL who sell good quality versions of them. They normally sell them in small packs for around about a pound per battery.

He tried to implement change that suited the Bid lot and not really anyone else. Attempted to implement visual styles that were suitable to neither the available space in the studio nor the ability of the limited crew. Restricted show style to suit his own agenda and was seen as a bully to a lot of staff, especially the female ones.

Nobody liked him and after several complaints to HR he became surplus. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that was one of the times when the staff at IW were most united.

Perhaps management just isn't for him.
