Blackwall Tunnel Gob on selling leather/plastic trousers. You must buy says she as they keep the wind out in the freezing weather. They look more like they’re made of leather look fabric than plastic.

Think I’ll stay with thin thermal leggings under my trousers plus my thermal long sleeved vest. Never used to feel the cold but I do now I’m older and not very mobile.
I've got Heattech long sleeve tops and leggings from Uniqlo. Not expensive, very thin and soft to wear under your clothes. Keeps you very warm.

By the way I nearly choked on my yoghurt laughing at 'Blackwall Tunnel gob'🤣🤣🤣
 
Whenever I have checked on their weather forecasts elsewhere, they are normally completely inaccurate. In other words if they say it’s going to be freezing cold across the country, it isn’t going to be. And if they say it’s going to be boiling hot - it’s not. They seem completely at ease with the art of misleading.

I guess Ideal Weather forecasts are 'not a direct comparison' to the real weather ;)
 
A spectacular Lavatorial Christmas Celebration this afternoon…

I know it sounds daft especially as we rarely get snow down here in the south, but I always stock up in November. I’m disabled and always make sure I’ve enough tinned, dried, and packet food to last a month, plus the freezer is full
Sadly Hammy it hasn’t still got much better.

I’ve just come back from a regular nurses appointment, to Get there I couldn’t get down pavements as vans and cars are parked on the pavements, you ask them why and the answer you get is we don’t wanna block the roads, I’m gonna make myself sound dumb here I’m 50 next year, but vunerable going onto the road.

Then I went into our small village Tesco, Which has Christmas Tat blocking the isles, you get a blank look from staff, and you email head office, and don’t get a reply

. There's
Our local overground railway station has been heavily criticised for not having the lift working (goes with most of the staff, who often aren't working either) and expecting people with mobility issues to walk down two flights of fairly steep stairs. This is 2024, for gawd's sake! They can pass all the legislation they like, but the discrimination against those with disabilities is scandalous in this day and age.
In her later years, my mum had awful problems walking so got her a wheelchair and pushed her to shops etc. I had my eyes opened as to how bad it is for wheelchair users to get around and use facilities/shops etc in a city, whether it was poor pavements, poor access, impossible to navigate shop layouts or just ignorant shoppers, i found it an utter nightmare at times, made my blood pressure and anger management worse than when watching IW. :ROFLMAO:
 
Slightly off topic but I finally checked out IW yesterday and goodness me! I don't know what the presenter man was called but you'd think the world was ending with how he was going on!!! Trying to shill this muddy fleece and repeatedly yelling its £10? NO IT ISN'T IS IT! IT'S 40 QUID !! I think he should quit telly and be a loan shark
You'll find that if you watch regularly, this behaviour is typical. The curse of selly telly is that if there's easy pay for the item, these presenters just scream out the instalment amount, so anyone not watching the screen thinks they're getting a coat for £10, £15 or whatever, but in reality this is just one instalment. Personally, if I were the ASA, the so-called advertising watchdog (I stress 'so-called'), I would fine them or take them off air for a time for pulling these tricks. They should have to make clear that the amount is one instalment only. It isn't only people with perfect vision who watch these channels, and in my opinion this practice smacks of deceit.
 
If you see a bloke with a bald head and a scruffy beard that's Mike Mason. He acts like a dodgy 1970s market stall trader. He doesn't want to rush you either but "things are flying out gang". They also mention high quality brands, but they claim they're not making a direct comparison! They sell cheap plastic handbags (or vegan leather). Then say things like "this would sell at hundreds of pounds but it's £29.99".

And if you see a screeching blonde woman selling "fashion" that's Sally Jacks. Enjoy...😁
AKA Screeching Sal and Mike 'Arfur Daley' Mason, he who works from a South London lock-up (some might say the presenters should be locked up but I couldn't possibly comment).
 
Hello all,
I have been reading the forum for months now and loving all of your observations so decided to jump aboard and make an account. I think maybe “Sellah” becoming a French meteorologist has tipped me over the edge to contribute!
Welcome, LittleLily. :D
 
Ok,eyes down and look in! Mike coming up! Well would you Adam and Eve it? I’m not trying to scare you/pressure you,but he’s going to sell out whatever it is..
My phone is on automatic dial to IW..don’t know what it is/they are but I’m on the edge of my seat to multi buy..
Check out or miss out! That’s my motto (I may have heard that somewhere)

There you are you beautiful people. Forewarned is forearmed
 
thank you so much for the information! I am so excited to delve into this further it sounds absolutely thrilling*
*god awful in the best way possible
It's all done in the best possible (bad) taste, but you'll find it addictive and at times hilarious. So bad it's good, but watch out for your jaw hitting the floor when you're watching, as some of it defies belief.😱

I've sent them two pine cones to use for their weather forecasting. The pines cones are accurate, which is more than their forecast is. We've never forgotten being told that it was 'a lovely summer's day everywhere in the south of England' while watching the rain, which had been pi%%ing down in Essex for about four hours.
 
He wants us to put one of those hideous "waft and weave" rugs in the kitchen. A tripping hazard if ever I saw one. Does he mean warp and weft?
Haven't seen it, but do you think he'd test it on his head first? Being a bit thin on top. And yes, you could put it in front of the oven, so when you open it, you can slide across the room quicker, so your food doesn't get cold. ;)
