Random musings and general banter.

It seems to be same sh..different day on The Jewellery Channel. Starting off items at ridiculously high prices to create some misguided impression to the gullible that when they drop them down to the original intended price, you have some massive saving to gain. They were doing that sort of stuff on the auction channels years ago. And where are the auction channels now? The channel is very much like Ideal World but without any humour of any description for most of the time. Hodgson is mildly amusing at times, but where does the he is one of the few ‘honest’ sales people in this line of work generate from? It’s the same BS essentially from all of them, across any channel. Just waiting for my text from Ricky Rattan to get through the system..

Although the latest accounts is only up to the end of March 2022, unfortunately they don't seem to be suffering from being a boring version of IW, they had a turnover of £81 million and with other income then less outgoing expenses/tax etc, they still ended up making a £13 million profit, surely have a highly gullible viewership.

The Handy and Webb weren’t they owned by Derek Belcher, wonder if we will see him again

Whenever there was a Karcher POTD, his normal line was well I got this pallet cheap, as it was meant for another retailer but they didn’t want

This 6 hours of live a day must only be temporary as all these brands would hardly be shown

It's their apologetic look.

Will they apologise?
Otherwise they are taking everyone for mugs!

Your on a roll Duke keep em coming, do you think they have sold their souls?

Oh they already think of their loyal customer base as mugs. No doubt about it. After the way the shameful way the last venture was a shill. Leaving many angry customers in a dreadful pickle. It's going to happen again I'm convinced it will. No assurance they cook up will convince me otherwise.

Can you imagine any one of them apologising? I think Lord Lucan riding in on Shergar with a 1933 penny stuck up his nose is more likely. If you look at their Facebook stuff, the responses to those types of new channel photo posts is uniformly toe-curlingly oleaginous. Never a condemnatory word daring to criticise the overall and very questionable selling techniques of the last few days of Ideal World. I would say theirs and shopping television presenters in general philosophy is very much 'The Shopping Channel is Dead, Long Live The Shopping Channel. Any thought for those customers out of pocket still presumably seen as unfortunate, but televisual shopping collateral damage over four instalments...

I see Sally is still in Spain

 

[Deleted member 21838]

Don't tell anybody. She might come back again..

Not on Shop Extra, seriously if they are only going to air 6 hours a night, they could live on 4 presenters

 

[Deleted member 21838]

Well, three presenters and Rubberhead.

They are going to lose some of their C&C customers if they carry on with this load of tosh being shown on the Craft Channel as I am not interested in their ‘Healthier Choices’ or in Dean Wilson talking himself up instead of allowing the guests to talk through their demos instead of having to shut up while he waffles on about his doings. Bet there are others switching off too.
