When shopping telly was entertaining
I see Mason still not wearing a VE on his wrist.
My Padi is wanting to hit the TV, it's embarrassed to be in the same room as these Shield Diver wannabe's.

Well Emma, you did mention the movement in the Atlantis at the beginning, Japanese, ie NH35
As a child, I remember seeing him on Junior Showtime with the likes of Lonnie Bangford and Poole Family. This would be early '70s. I think Bonnie is late 50s now, so Simon must be a similar age. Why he makes himself out to be about 20 years older than he is, it is hard to say. I suppose he thinks it is amusing for some reason - part of whatever 'act' he thinks he is performing. But watching him and others on shopping television over the years, you get used to hearing complete fantasy dressed up as fact.Peter Simon - "as a young man brought up in Hull, in the early parts of the 1950s i was on my own for considerables hours and days, but one xmas, from the land of green ginger and king billy, i was given a magic set, a magic set that was to change my life really." & "a sponge ball and cup when i was 5 at the start of the 50s"
Well if he was 5 in the early 1950s or start of the 50s, then that story is either fabricated nonsense, which i firmly believe, or our Peter is over 70, which i don't believe for one second.
Er.. That was meant to say going from the Premier League to the Conference. Not Kevin from the Premier League!!As a child, I remember seeing him on Junior Showtime with the likes of Lonnie Bangford and Poole Family. This would be early '70s.

Also, in terms of the juggling balls etc. he was selling - I am sure I remember seeing that product on QVC back in the early 2000s. You know, in the days they sold things like rerecordings CDs and whippet food. Ending up on Ideal World must be by Kevin from the Premier League to the Conference in one season.
This further proves who their target market is when it comes to watches. The bragger. The pub bore. The 'oh look at my expensive watch, I paid x for it' type of person. People that have a modicum of class don't talk about stuff like that, unless really pushed e.g. by mates etc. If someone said to me 'nice watch' I wouldn't then proceed to say 'thanks, it's a Rolex and cost me £8000.' I would simply say 'thanks.'And Peter says, if you buy it, you must tell everybody you have a Shield designed watch.
You can tell Mike M thinks he's gods gift. The way he talks about women makes my skin crawl, and all this 'goddess' guff as well.Those outtakes in that video posted on the previous page. I see Mason's sole idea of jokes, is basically making sexual jokes about his female colleague. Now I have no doubt she probably didn't mind, as surely she would have complained about it? But could you imagine working in an office and making comments about it being cold and a woman nipples, or claiming one of your female colleagues had flattened a few beds?
Someone would be bound to take offence (possibly rightly so?) and you'd be right up the creek without a paddle before you knew it. And I can see why he now shaves his head. That wasn't a bald patch, it was a bald acre he had back then!
I saw a comment on Facebook from some woman who must have tuned in to the channel for the first time and had seen PS and started gushing at how she used to have a crush on him and that he hadn't changed a bit
I have inside info on this so don't tell anyone. Peter S was in fact born in the 1930's. He doesn't mention this as he isn't one for bragging. His youthful looks are thanks to using copious amounts of Elizabeth Grant. He bathes in it.Peter Simon - "as a young man brought up in Hull, in the early parts of the 1950s i was on my own for considerables hours and days, but one xmas, from the land of green ginger and king billy, i was given a magic set, a magic set that was to change my life really." & "a sponge ball and cup when i was 5 at the start of the 50s"

I'm sure when P.S asked about the two crowns on one of the models she said one was for adjusting the time the other for the date as an easier method of altering them. No mention of the rotating inner compass bezel, so handy when diving lol.Emma - "they've all gone through the rigorous criteria"
Well, she's going on about them being practical for diving, ie so you know how long you have left in your oxygen tank and not being able to knock the crown so it alters that feature
I did read some time ago this happened to someone on here Retro. Can't remember who now.
