I’ve been crafting one way or another for around 70 years. I craft for enjoyment rather than selling for a profit. I have made bespoke cards for friends and family but never charged anything like they suggest on any craft channel. Most things I knit, crochet, sew or embroider etc are for personal use or donated to charity.

I didn't mean to knock crafting which obviously gives people a lot of pleasure, I just find the craft channels very low key. This is quite refreshing when compared to the hype of IW3.

I wasnt offended. I watch Create and Craft for a bit of company. It’s calming to watch compared to the other shouty shopping channels. It’s often quite funny especially if something goes wrong.

Chef Mark’s grater is playing up. Chef Mike’s is working perfectly. The man (Mark) is really struggling going by his hands. You have to feel sorry for him. Nothing is working for him. He is now talking about a chef with FOUR Michelin stars…God help us..

Crikey my mums old Spong Grater worked better than that. Only got rid of it a couple of years ago when I bought a Tefal electric one.

The pair of them look as if they’re contestants on the Generation Game. He’s making a right pigs ear of that onion. Don’t let Foghorn see this or she’ll be supplying it as a meal to the needy!

He doesn’t need to mislead though.

well I doubt he is doing that of his accord and clear a tactic they think works and it is unethical but how many are fooled by it in reality ?

 

[Duke of Cheese]

His onion just turned into a gooey mess. User error? Rotten onion? Who knows? What is clear visually is Chef Mark gets himself into these messes due to nerves or unfamiliarity with the products he is meant to demonstrate, or both, perhaps?

Nobody told him to say he co-launched Zhuzh!, I’m sure. Other than his own mind.

well I would not put it beyond a director telling him that TBH

Heirloom pieces, he’s been listening to Peter too much

You're mis-hearing them ...

They're not heirloom pieces, they're 'here, loon!' pieces, as in 'here, loon, why the feck are you buying that?!?'

 

[Duke of Cheese]

Probably best to agree to differ. I have seen too much of his routine over the years to believe he is manipulated by production staff into saying the things he says. If he has any excuse at all, it’s because he says anything that comes to his mind at speed and not to his earpiece.

I don’t think these are meant for grating onions. I always use my Ninja chopper for onions.

If it’s Ladies Day for 4 days, that’s me done until Monday, I maybe Female but do I want to watch just Women’s products for 4 days no.

Muriel will be so happy

The witches cackling has just broken my tv speakers after only 2 minutes on air

Yannis and Sally yuk

Yiannis and Foghorn demonstrating the hula hoop side by side.

Quality TV.

That’s the thing…He’s blagging it. But he isn’t very good at blagging. Mason is an extremely shrewd operator who thinks on his feet. He CAN do it if he needs to. Anybody with any serious interest in cooking or cuisines would know there is no such thing as a Michelin Four Star restaurant. From what Chef Mark said last night, clearly he doesn’t.

The dull and the deafening...

The dull and the deafening...

I won't ask which one is which

 

[Lord Helpus]

I won't ask which one is which

I think we all know!

I wonder if the idea of this pairing was to liven Yiannis up or quieten Sally down?

Anyway, it didn't work.
