Random musings and general banter.

Mason has a watch, the Christophe Duchamp Raidillon skeleton, "total Swissness".

So the Raidillon is from a UK brand, the watch is assembled in the Far East and has a Japanese movement, yeah Mike Total Swissness.

You hope for change but it never comes. These huge company website RRPs on watches they sell for hundreds/thousands less. Why? You just get so sick of ‘the game‘. I suppose they see no reason to change. It was alluded to the other week than shopping telly will never change, despite criticisms levelled towards its tactics, and in certain ways, you can understand that. They are not focusing on an age range where change IS needed. When that demographic no longer exists, the people behind these businesses will regroup and just focus on something else. You essentially need to be daft to be taken in by the patter. Lots of daft people there still to be taken in by it.

Darren texted in, that he paid £1700 for the Christophe Duchamp Raidillon watch and has no regrets.

All i can say is either Darren doesn't exist (Fake text) or he's an idiot that should have his wallet confiscated.

Hammy was supposed to have said of Gammon, "One spray and you're away". Of course the same could be said of a cat.

..or a skunk!

Paz (whoever they really were) appeared full of ebullience about how the new Ideal World was doing. Then again, if they were actually somebody working for the channel, in the know, they are hardly going to come on and say that things are anything other than doing brilliantly. On now, a fleece for £20. Free delivery, so that cost has to be met, plus Mason’s fee, the studio and gallery staff, the call centre fees, website costs, packing, buying the product and much more I’ve missed, I’m sure. You assume they paid half of what they are selling it for, or less. It all depends on how many they sell. We are never going to do anything other than speculate upon that. A few hundred, a few thousand, 20? Regardless, you fail to see the long-term future for this kind of selling. Focusing now on the over 50s, 60s and 70s and beyond, non-Internet savvie, Wheeltappers humour embracing, customer base who in a couple of decades will be dead and gone. Young people just don’t shop this way and never will do. To survive, this channel and others will need to radically change their selling approach at some point.

The cost of having a channel on a multiplex is horrendous. Even if the cleaner came on and did a tap dance routine they still have to pay to be on air. Freeview alone you are talking £12million a year if you are broadcasting 24 hours*

Depends on their set up

*Not a direct comparison

I watched a bit of Rob Lamar earlier and the way he did the 'comparison' was to say he likes to look in the shop windows on the way past and be aware of what prices watches are going for if he is going to be selling them, and gave anecdotal prices, though it was not price comparison which I think is a better way to put it than plucking a price out of your arse and saying a garden centre definitely had it for a far more expensive price

 

[Duke of Cheese]

Trying to sell these types of goods over and over again to a limited market just doesn’t seem to make sense to somebody like me, not in the know. I cannot see it surviving carrying on like this. But with the general market these channels focus on, you cannot easily see any way of any of them carrying on long into the future.

Best I’ve seen on Ideal World - any version. Sells honestly and sincerely.

If its who i think he at least seems more natural in style rather than trying to brow beat with endless use of adjectives that he cant even spell (aka Pedro). A way more likeable guy.

They are all sales people so honesty and sincerity are questionable from the lot of them.

They just want more sales, its just good sales people are a bit better at it imo.

Being younger and prettier and not annoying, i dont know why the girl on last night doesnt move into something else like high end car sales, gotta be better than working till 2am selling hoodies and phone chargers. Leave that shift to the washed up buffoons.

New presenter who thinks he is called Jeremy Edwards. You have to do extraordinarily badly for me to dislike you as a presenter after 30 seconds, but he has achieved it. Apparently he has been away for seven years having a baby. Looks very much like he’s still pregnant to me. Never seen in the same room as Dom Joly.

I think he was on previous incarnation of IW for a short while, but he is an actor. Was in Hollyoaks I think.

 

[Duke of Cheese]

Full of himself - literally. He makes Sally Jacks seem an appealing watch. They usually say if you don’t recognise somebody on television, they’ve been in Hollyoaks. Spot on with him. He also speaks to himself in the third person, which is also hugely annoying. He says he’ll be sticking around. Not with me watching he won’t.

 

[elyssa]

Crikey!!! That is a blast from the past, Jeremy Edwards, whodda thunk it, didn't see that one coming!! Lol xxx xxx

 

[Duke of Cheese]

Acting work must be going well..

 

[Duke of Cheese]

He said Wowzers…That’s it. No more, ever.
