Random musings and general banter.

Genuine question. Had anyone ever heard of Horatio London before Ideal World introduced them? Chanel, Yves St Laurent, Dior, yes. But Horatio London, never heard of them!! And people allegedly pay 300 odd quid for a bottle of it. Sorry, just don't believe it!

I’m pretty sure this was the first one - Satellite Shop, 1989…

No - never heard of it. Though, I am no perfume expert, so I might be doing them a disservice. I suppose known brands wouldn’t touch them with a barge pole. Same with watches. Don’t expect to see any well-known high-end brands to appear, either.

Yeah but massive amount of new stock will magically appear in the warehouse overnight. That Greed will be on relentlessly till xmas.

We've had Gammon, we've had Greed. What do we think will be next? My money is on Gruesome. You heard it here first...

Absolutely love it when the presenters read out the list of people who have purportedly just bought the overpriced, substandard product - John, Paul, George, ......,Ringo.....,

Does Peter know how to just sell something as it is

 

[Jazzydrury]

How does he know it sells every day on the company’s website, does he ring them

I hate the way he says we have 14 of you with it in your baskets, and it's not yours until you visit
check out. Then he encourages people to ring the call centre, as they will take the goods out of the basket and sell them to the caller. Mike says, I'm not trying to rush you, merely to inform you.

 

[Duke of Cheese]

Notice he is specifically saying THEY (Horatio) will refund you if you are not happy. Your contract is surely with Ideal World

There was no ketchup at all.

Husband had carrot puree with his steak, and it was just an orange streak on his plate! Looked like somebody had dragged their thumb across the plate.

Credit where credit is due. It's bullsh*t of the very highest quality from Peter Simon tonight!

 

[Deepblueday]

Embalmed is not a good word to link with a fragrance......what on earth is he on about.

Redbridge is on the Central Line. Wonder if they know William Hunt of Savile Row (AKA an industrial estate in Hainaut)

I've never had anything taken out of an online basket. They say you have 15 minutes (or whatever) to complete the transaction before you lose it.

When I was on my cruise I went to one of the premium restaurants one night. The dessert was cheesecake with blueberry jus (like the carot puree, just a streak). It was a work of art! It was so posh I almost didn't shovel it down my gob... (don't worry I can act dignified when I need to)

Just realised he meant if you put it in your shopping basket and just left it there and didn't proceed with the transaction. Ignore above comment.
