Random musings and general banter.

Just trying to work out his career time span…Assume he is early 50s, so you would imagine he’s been in paid work for around 35 years. He says he’s worked in shopping television for 25 years plus. That leaves about ten years for the following- lifeguard…feeler of music…fragrance sniffer…electrician, lead singer in a touring band, holiday camp entertainer, lumberjack, roadie, sound engineer for famous names…his non-shopping television career…and so on…That’s a lot of jobs in a very short time period…

Well he did his apprenticeship (3-4 years) and worked with the local council as a qualified sparky, so would imagine that would probably have taken up at least 4/5 years of his working life.

Shopping TV host from late 20s, then? And all the other jobs after electrical work in the space of about five years, say? Being a sound engineer good enough to work with well-known musicians is something that you would assume also has a qualification and building up experience time period. So perhaps Feeler of Music wasn’t an actual job - more a gift from God than a salaried role? And tree fella just a hobby? Or was he just two fellas?

 

[Hammy60]

Oohs & Aahs, hmm, yeah & oh yeah is on with Reg, never ending Philips battery shows.

Probably in the studio to change a fuse in a plug.

Generalising of course; but the more people say they have done career wise, the reality can be a different story.

If they were a high street shop, you’d soon give up going in there due to lack of choice.

Maybe he is beyond retirement age, but looks younger due to Opatra, collagen, gummies, CBD, running machines, vibration plates, Bench clothing, Dunlop shavers and don't forget magical Emu balm.......

I bought one years ago, can't remember where from. Changed its battery a couple of times, works perfectly well. Maybe there's a world shortage and they're being responsible

It's to check all those Philips batteries they keep flogging.

What else did he used to swear by - rattan furniture sets for £699.99, with rottan furniture expert, Peter van Innardsargonne.

Here we go...Peter van Minkynotminkeebhatsalter, the ironing board expert. I can just see him being instructed to iron 'Herself's' linen extra larges on a low gas...Doing a no chemistry or rapport session with the nodding dog, empty grinning YTS placement. Telling us more BS that good old British company Salter has been trading since 1760. He implies by the very nature of that statement that it is the same company as it was. Well no...not after many subsequent ownership changes and with production moved to China. Funny enough, he failed to add that bit. I mean... Why let the truth get in the way??
