See Kevski has been in the back of his wardrobe again, loads of watches we thought were sold out and back again.
Yeah, the ve are one watch, been on sale for ever, the Gurkha watch, with the "cookery" knivesSee Kevski has been in the back of his wardrobe again, loads of watches we thought were sold out and back again.
Dave's probably buried under a huge pile of Vostok boxes and they've had to bring in the fire brigade to fish him out.Go on KEVSKI
Is chief collector Dave? loydon still about?
Sincere as ever KevskiDave's probably buried under a huge pile of Vostok boxes and they've had to bring in the fire brigade to fish him out.
Seriously, most of the 'collectors' are probably burnt out by now or at least being more choosy with their purchases. Anyway, Kevski said tonight that this deal's for YOU. Not Kevski or Tragic Mike, it's for YOU.
Lets see how many of the "only one left" or " these won't last for the next show" will have mysteriously bounced back and be available for one last time
You wonder with so many creditors unpaid apparently from the last version how the new one is doing for finding potential fresh ones to sell products for? I wonder how the arrangement with Reynolds works? Does payment for his watches sold go straight to his company with no retention by Ideal World? If so, maybe that’s why he is happy to remain with them long term? I didn’t see his name on the unpaid creditor lists? With some others, did sales payments go to the old IW and were supposed to be paid or then not paid at some later time? It is an intriguing area of thought to know how all of this actually works in terms of these sorts of protocols..
Interesting.Just read through some of the Ideal World application document
As of Feb 2022, 140k was owed to presenters?! That must mean the majority had been working on reduced or very limited pay for a very long period
(Page15/70)
Comparing heated dryers overly favourably with tumble ones again. Making a basic comparison for a heated dryer per hour cost that is significantly less for electricity than its tumble dryer equivalent. What isn’t fully explained or remotely qualified is that you can purchase certain tumble dryers that are far more efficient than the majority and actually complete their task at a fraction of the electricity price Ideal World quote. No mention either in any depth or even at all is made that clothes on a heated dryer can take ten times as long to dry. In turn just comparing to an hour or so in a tumble dryer and an hour on a heated dryer. I speak from direct experience having both, And even with a cover over the dryer, it can still take significantly longer to dry clothes than the tumble dryer way.
Interesting.
I also wonder whether My Name is Den aged 136 and Ryan are paid employees having been there since 2000? It would be very interesting to know exactly how the payment rates work for the freelance presenters. Are they paid by the show? Are they paid as a combination of time on the channel and some sort of bonus for being involved in a successful show for sales? Or essentially, are they working at times for a pittance or nothing at all, in the hope some payment comes eventually down the line?
Despite any of the above, no wonder most of them hang around to any bitter end of any channel. Wasn’t that broadly the situation at Bid-Up? Still presenting goods to customers just before the company went under? Maybe they see themselves in a similar light to footballers who stay with a club until the club is relegated and then walk away and find another club? I.E. - it’s not their problem. I would though, like to think, there should be an element of morality for all shopping television presenters in general, with them not happy to be selling goods indirectly when a company they are working for is in potential serious trouble, and they are aware of that fact - which of course, I’m not saying Ideal World is. Just a general point about shopping television.
