What happened? Why the sudden good behaviour? In fact Jazzy I was watching Jane Austen's Emma on the BBC i-player, maybe you were named after the book.

Rachel Steven's never thought so

Jeremy flogging the sonic toothbrush and I quote ‘it’s got a nice weight to it’ what’s the obsession with items being on the heavy side? Do they think a good weight means expensive. That’s just bo**ocks

Jeremy trying to move the bezel on the Columbia watch and failing miserably. He just asked the gallery do we have a price comparison- no we don’t, that’s because it’s £40 elsewhere you numpty

Wonder if any of the oil-filled radiators will have "bounced back" from people who had them in their baskets??

Be such a shame if Dirty Peter missed out, meaning him and Bet will be frozen again in the hovel.

He has said it will be even colder next week than this week. He pinpoints the middle of next week. Of course, Walter. Of course. Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive. Walter… Shame on You…

Wednesday, Thursday and Friday darn ‘ere in the souff it barely got above freezing with the wind chill factor. Yesterday 14 degrees, going to be between 10&14 degrees for the next week. Where’s he getting his forecasts from? Perhaps they’re going to start selling home weather stations?

Henry is tethered to the wall in the front room, and 'he' goes all around the downstairs, up the stairs and in all the bedrooms without unplugging him. He's a good boy. So the only time cords are a problem is when you cut the grass. Otherwise, no worries.

They weren’t selling a Henry. It was a cheap looking stick vac with a not particularly lengthy looking cord on it. I’ve seen travel kettles with more cord!

It’s funny, cos for the price of that cr*p short corded one IW were flogging at £50 I dare say people could pick up a Henry second hand in good condition for that price or a fair bit less!

Henry vacuums are usually the norm in holiday cottages broom cupboards. Great long chord on them…Cumbersome to use, though, I found. And not particularly effective - again just an opinion. I certainly wouldn’t buy one for my own home.

In terms of the vacuums sold on this channel - the narrative completely changes depending on if it’s corded or non-corded. Previously praised cordless machines are now put down (literally) for everything they do and how they do it. And the former ‘Tools of the Devil’ corded ones, are now Cleaning Warriors of The National Grid…(Van Knottshuckup’s) latest ridiculous strapline. He forgets…a cordless vacuum’s battery is also a Cleaning Warrior of The Grid at source…Also, he never does a really testing demonstration, does he? How about bringing a square of carpet in with ground in dog hairs sticking to it? Not just rice and more rice….

It would take more than ‘I’m Not Doing it to Show Me Strength Off,” (Oh yes you are) corded vacuum wielding Mason, or the ludicrous Power of The National Grid association to make me buy one of those cheap looking own brand machines they are relentlessly trying to flog of late. A lot more.
