I think she might be on steroids for her cough. She looks like a pregnant hamster.

Dumpy McDumpy, I think.

“You can mount this and use it …. If you don’t love it, you can return it”
Bloody liar - their returns policy doesn’t cover that -

Don’t like the look of bear number three…

I’ve my 18 yr old relative you don’t want to hear what she said to me, when I offered her some Fine Perfumery as a thank you

Mike has just admitted that they buy bankrupt stock, and that's how they manage to sell expensive items cheaply.

Put in another complaint to the ASA. This time about the Lorem detox foot patch. Torchy had them on and he went on at length about how you put them on your feet and overnight they remove toxic substances from your body. When you take them off in the morning they are stained black which proves they work. This is load of bal…cks. It’s the heat and sweat from your feet that turn them black, you a make them go black by holding them over a boiling kettle. They were exposed as a scam product years ago.

Got this reply today.

Thank you for contacting the Advertising Standards Authority. I am sorry to hear that this matter has caused you concern. We have assessed your complaint and have decided to refer it to our Compliance team.



Unlike cases which require further investigation by the ASA, where additional commentary or input from a complainant can be necessary to fully understand the issues, your complaint raises an issue which we know is a clear problem under the rules. In those circumstances, the Compliance team has all the information it needs and will work directly with the advertiser to bring about compliance. The Compliance team doesn’t report to complainants or publish the details of its work but please be assured they will take the most appropriate course of action. If the advertiser does not comply, the Compliance team can apply sanctions, and may ultimately refer the matter to our legal backstop, Trading Standards.

Thank you again for raising your concerns.

Yours sincerely

Shock, horror Lorem are making false and misleading claims about its products, who would have guessed.

Mike saying that he is known as a great salesman by IW and because of that he can negotiate great prices with Management for US! What a great guy.
He is not to be messed with as he even ‘haggles’ at petrol stations over the price of the fuel!
Fantasy world! Anyway he is selling these once in a lifetime-priced massagers at a price only he could negotiate.
Thing is we know the type of audience they sell to. Can you imagine the care home full of these things and the care assistants running around worried over all the buzzing/vibration noises coming from their rooms…”Muriel! What on earth are you doing in there?” “I’m having a lovely time thank you all thanks to Mike”

Well done. They're getting closer and closer to where Bid Shopping was at.

Mike is just such a big headed bas***d isn’t he? Telling the viewers that he is known for being a great salesman by his employers and they know he can shift stuff.
He makes me sick

 

[Craftalot]

OftheMasons is talking about 'being an rural person' now. The good folk of Cowlinge would disagree with that, as he and 'The Goddess' have quite a reputation.

 

[Scraping the barrel]

He has a very ‘punchable’ face

Gollum or someone in the PCR has been reading this forum today: he's suddenly started to be very polite and respectful to 'our mate Knowles-y'

Obviously got told that it wasn't a good look and wouldn't improve sales - and they don't need to lose any more customers.

Mike has just admitted that they buy bankrupt stock, and that's how they manage to sell expensive items cheaply.

Like many business models -
Poundland will buy obsolete / over stocked or bankrupt goods knowing they can sell them out quickly at low prices.
Weatherspoon's will buy short dated beer knowing their turnover is fast enough for it not to be a problem.

Makes sense and at least the supplier receives something for their product.

Oh it's more Duchump overpriced Chinese assembled watches.


Mason said collectors buy them all and sell them on the secondary market, yeah right, it's not collectors it's f****** idiots that know sod all about watches and are going to make a loss on ebay.

 

[EmmaP]

Why would u want all 5

 

[ronzy75]

The collectors won't be watching this sh... Masonic, just us for a laugh

 

[exmothian]

The rarest of the rare

 

[ronzy75]

So they're flogging these on rubber for the same price as a bracelet?
