Random musings and general banter.

Oh cordless vac, must be ****, didn't Peter V already say that no cordless could compete with the super duper corded 2 in 1 vac he was selling a week or so ago.

 

[Hammy60]

Probably made in teh same Chinese factory as the Beldray vacs, with just the Homesmart name thrown on it.

 

[saintslad]

Love it.

 

[Niwa]

Not seen the product/demo (or channel much either these days!), but does this have any WiFi/internet alerting or message capability beyond sounding an alarm?

In a word, no.

 

[Hammy60]

haha

Got a mention, praising Peter V and his demos.


Tell you what, instead of playing games why don't you have the courage to post here and defend the lying shysters on your channel, cowards.

Mike says stock selling out.

Translation, nobody is buying it, will still be selling this crap for weeks.

 

[Hammy60]

Quietest vac he's ever seen.

Peter so great he even hears with his eyes.

What you would people do without television channel to complain about!

We you would research on buy lessons grammar English.

Sell out city in the post says the bastion of integrity,

hmm hope they're not using the same post as the hot weather as that seems to have gotten lost.

It’s a shopping tv discussion forum. We discuss shopping tv here.

Tell me something, SaintsLad… Do you think presenters misleading viewers with incorrect information is acceptable?

Still waiting on a reply to my question, SaintsLad…

I’m just curious to know if you value honesty and integrity. I’m not being a smart-***, it’s a genuine question.

Can anyone enlighten me on what has happened to Dirty Peter's eyebrows? Is it to do with the injury he suffered? Not only are they looking odd, not only are they moving up his forehead, not only are they hero eyebrows. You'd think some surgeon had said "have a bye", only £250..............first of five flexis

and that makes no sense.

Certainly I do, hence why I seldom purchase as I know that without buying any shop will no longer continue to exist.

Forgoing the double negative, if I understand you correctly you’re saying that by not giving your custom to a seller you understand that the likelihood is that they will cease to trade? Interesting.

To be clear, I speak for myself (and possibly others) here. The reason many of us have such an issue with I.W is their constant, and it is constant, misrepresentation of the products they sell and their associated ‘bargain’ prices vs suggested RRPs/comparisons. It’s pie-in-the-sky nonsense.

Additionally, several presenters are clearly and knowingly engaging in unethical selling practices, in the knowledge that they are appealing to, in some cases, a vulnerable audience. Quite frankly, that’s abhorrent.

So why do we watch? For me, I view I.W as one long shopping-telly parody. A bit like dipping in and out of a long, absurdist comedy sketch. I watch in short bursts while doing other things or between programmes. Often I can’t believe what I’m hearing…and what I.W as a collective business, are permitted to get away with. Similarly, I find particular presenters selling ‘styles’ quite vile - they may as well openly declare they have total disrespect for their viewers as long as they’re making money.

And THAT’S where this forum comes in… It’s an outlet for people like me to raise their hand and say ‘this channel is ****’ and ‘how is it allowed to continue’? It’s also a place where we have a collective laugh at a bunch of shysters who think they’re being clever. And quite frankly if we can’t laugh about these TV clowns then, in the words of Peter Simon, we really are all going to hell.

Unfortunately, there is always the risk of taking things too far…

And those very same people read this forum and don’t like being called out on their disingenuous selling techniques. If the ASA won’t act, it is worth making regular points about the channel’s desperate shortcomings in the way they feel it is acceptable to sell to essentially older and overly trusting shoppers. If you can happily do a day’s work doing that sh..for a living, then you deserve to be critiqued on it even more.

IW is like a parody of itself and we watch because we can't believe something so bad can just go on and on.

Anyone remember Acorn Antiques, a brilliant parody of the Crossroads soap? Yet Crossroads was so terrible it didn't need a parody.

That is Ideal World.
