By the amount of cruises the lemonade twins say they go on, my heart is not exactly bleeding for either of them.

I guess up to the launch, Create and Craft will mention it all the time

They used to be a shopping channel with a very similar name that was run by Granada back in the late 90s early 2000s

Yes Shop, at least they were honest, and before they closed they had a closing down sale

These are the people who were selling rattan furniture which never arrived,how can that be right in the eyes of create and craft.
Would you trust any of them,plus they as former presenters of IW,seem oblivious to the people who are fighting to get their money back.(actually they don’t care)
They are responsible as much as IW management,because they fronted the programmes,and all this helping them out stinks, stuff the IW customers and viewing public we carry on as if nothing has happened

Just seen an interesting sales technique on Gems TV. Selling a pearl necklace, had about 46 left. Presenter said the phone lines have gone wild, there's literally hundreds trying to get through, begging you to stay on the line, demand is massive, so they reduced the price by £20, then reduced by a further £80 (despite high demand)

Interesting, despite hundreds trying to get through, the numbers didn't go down much, now moving faster since reduction. Its almost as though there weren't hundreds of people desperate to get through. Ten minutes later still 14 left...

Reverse auctions or whatever they call them. Complete joke. Cheap as chips leather bag, starting price £599.99 (as if to suggest it 'could' sell for that) ends up dropping to £29.99

Don't be silly now, at this difficult time we need to rally round them and buy buy BUY



Whatever floats your boat I suppose, however the sad thing to me is there are evidently people out there who fall for the guff. They buy into the mantra of family, friendship, fun. A salespersons dream ...

Hopefully when it does start, if it has to it won’t be a celebration beginning as that would be wrong

I suppose Hochanda are trying to diversify a bit to increase revenue, any profit they've made in the last couple of years has gone paying off loans.

As i said earlier, they (and TJC) can now pick up some business which would have gone IW way in the past. But they could alienate existing customers/viewers if they start replacing too many craft shows with former IW products.
