Quiet in here tonight.

Have you ever gone into somebody's bathroom and used their air freshener as a deodorant? I thought not.

Jacket looks ok but not £50.

Not defending them but I would assume some of the info can get rather technical, so easy to get it wrong or muddled up when doing the pitch. If they had a presenter that only did watch shows then maybe more info could be included.



I'd be interested to see the actual figures they sell, rather than just what the presenters allude to.

The tactics they use on price and how many they have left to sell somewhat reminds me of the ones used by salesmen for alarms, double glazing, etc, that used to feature on shows like Watchdog. Must buy today to get this deal, ringing the boss to get the price down, etc.

I personally would put a good chunk of them in the considered purchase category. We did see some brands with models below £100, some well below that actually, but that doesn't seem to be the case now.



Is that IW adding that info or the vendors pushing it?

Plenty of brands out there not owned by the original company. Beldray and Tower in housewares. In sportswear, Kangol, Slazenger, Lonsdale to name a couple.

The watches though drive me nuts, using a name of some long-dead guy who made a clock or something and making it sound like they started a company then and its been running since,



+1 to that.

Talking of defunct brands, Sports Direct are another company who purchase defunct or struggling brands and then turn them into rubbish. Take for example, Muddyfox bikes, original bikes from the original company were half decent but after Sport Direct got hold of them name they are rubbish but unsuspecting customers are unaware. Just trading on the name and hoping people will purchase them because of the name

Why does this twonk always sound like he’s delivering a reverential eulogy when he introduces these naff watch brands?!

Let your answers commence….

Emma has bought her Dad a Vostok Rocket N1!

 

[Hammy60]

Oh Emma's bought her dad a watch.

Peter says Loss leading price according to Igor and Kevski, £299.

If that's loss leading then how would they described this?

 

[galesgal57]

The watch is worn by some of the most famous men in the world! Who? Jimmy Krankie?

 

[Hammy60]

It's a 21,600 bph movement Peter, Not 28,800.

 

[headintheclouds]

@Hammy60, I know how wound up I get listening to this eejit waffling nonsense about watches so god knows how you must feel

My sympathies to you

 

[Hammy60]

"You won't see it again."

Yeah we believe you Peter.

 

[Muttley]

nobody watching Pedro

No

…and “I thought we’d sold these out”.

Oi, Pete, have you ever asked yourself why you think that about EVERY item you’ve sold?! Twit. You appear to be the most misinformed presenter in the history of mankind.

Used to get really wound up, but with Peter and watches I can't stop laugh at some of the utter nonsense he comes out with.

 

[headintheclouds]

This is so cringeworthy…why is he standing away in the background, delivering his twaddle then dramatically walking towards the table? He really is a prat of the highest order.

 

[Hammy60]

 

[galesgal57]

Hammy! Do you really prefer your Vostok to your Rolex!

 

[headintheclouds]

Somebody clearly thinks they’re a smart a*** with these ‘Hammy’ messages being read out on-air.

There’s NOTHING smart about making fools of your vulnerable viewers with your lies. Shame on you, whoever you are.
