Random musings and general banter.

I know they sometimes used to show non-working demo units too.

I wouldn’t believe that, sure they have said that cover a broken example findings it’s way to the studioI might be wrong

Perhaps, guess we'll never know for sure.

Yannis Morgan, I call him that because he reminds me of Torchy the Battery Boy, an early Gerry Anderson show. It's the staring eyes.

Thanks,nice to be in the ‘in’ crowd.
Thought it may be that chef that sets fire to the kitchen as in ‘torched’ it..of course I don’t remember Torchy the Battery Boy

As the convo has moved from food to children’s tv (via a bit of Duchamp) I reckon Pete and Mike could be ‘Bill and Ben the Lie a lot men’

 

[Bernie100]

I'm confused.

Stock started at 1s, 2s, 3s, of each. Yet throughout the show we've gotten flying out, going to sell out in minutes, more buyers coming in on repeat, plus must have named at least 15/20 folks buying.

Anyway almost 50 minutes into the show, and they are still not sold out yet, oh wait has the single blue at the start finally gone.

Pedro just said that he'll be offering them for sale at around 8.30 pm

You're obviously much too young, I'm getting on a bit.

Well thank you young lady!
I don’t remember Andy Pandy, The Woodentops or Watch With Mother either(well only a little bit)

 

[galesgal57]

Ah! The good old days, loved watching those programmes.

 

[Scraping the barrel]

Well I’m peed off now! Pete’s flogging more thermos type flasks.
I have a shed full of these now. On every show he says with all the different makes that they are the very best he has ever seen so of course I have a buy…and now he’s got the copper ones which are ‘the very best he has ever bought to air,ever!’
And he genuinely sincerely means it…just like he did last time.

Ok I’ll buy them Pete but don’t you dare have any more which are the best. I’ve got no more room in the shed especially with all the best air fryers you’ve ever seen…

You forgot the rattan furniture, luggage, watches, assorted supplements, corded and cordless vacuum cleaners, irons, steam cleaners that you stored in there.

Pedro flogging 'Himalayan salt' plug-ins now that he says will combat harmful 'electromagnetical' ( it should be electromagnetic but he's started making his own words up now) fields in the home. Just how do they get away with making these bogus scientific claims?

Well as its a made up word I guess they can say what they like.

ahh, ramming a pillow into a £60 duffle bag day....

Patio Pete with slippers, making stupid medical claims. I have a similar pair bought for comfort and warmth, they have non slip soles. He’s now saying you could wear them as driving slippers and now comparing them to Ugg and Emu. Why on earth he can’t just tell us about the width, materials used, if they’ve got a memory foam inner sole rather than all the stupid crap he spouts I don’t know.

You know because he knows F all about the product

Hmm, the Homesmart 10L airfryer looks remarkably like the halogen ovens they used to sell moons ago, just missing the glass bowl.

Must be using a halogen bulb as an element as the light turns on and off as its working away. I know those fail and need replacing, sometimes its a pita to do too.

I thought the chicken Joe just took out looked a little pink inside, he soon spun it around leaving the uncut side on show....

Dunno if the same one I saw being flogged last week, but Joe had the one that tilts and then rotates turning food as it rotates and said it had a halogen element as an air fryer, possibly in addition to a regular heat coil.

I thought exactly the same. I think I paid £40 for mine from the old IW and got a free slow cooker with it. Halogen oven lasted a couple of years and I did use it most days. Slow cooker still working but gave it to a friend as it became too heavy for me to lift. Too big really for 1 person but great for a family. Bought a small one which is much better for me.

I have also seen regular halogen ovens being sold and labelled as airfryers in web sites. The halogen uses infrared as well as radiated element heat from a regular air fryer heater coil. But they're both effectively fan ovens using hot air to cook food. My halogen oven was good for roasts and fried food on a high heat near the top. Before the element and thermostat strip broke.

Can't see from the photo if the element is halogen or regular coil. But looks like a halogen, what with the angled hood. Not seen a halogen one with a rotisserie function before!

It was lighting up like a halogen, then cycling off/on to maintain temperature.

Looks like they are badging them, as these look very similar and go to 230c.
