I've used those hangers in a hotel, I didn't find them very good. Its true that your clothes don't slip off but it wasn't easy adjusting clothes because items cling to the hanger. Even taking items off the hanger was a faff.Torchy, it’s not the thickness of the coat hangers that takes up space in your wardrobe you numpty, it’s the thickness of your clothes

Wonder if you bought enough you could use them as sandbags to keep water out in case of floods? Come on IW you could be missing out on extra sales!

I’m surprised (not) that they haven’t taken the price comparison from the Halo one they sell on QVC. If they did I would suggest that the QVC legal team would come down on them like a ton of bricks.

Torchy is selling a £99.99 Krug Baumen watch. He said we never fudge, there are strict rules shopping telly has to adhere to! Is he for real? All they ever do is " fudge" also known as something else brown that comes out of a bulls backside.

They know perfectly well price comparisons should have evidence of where they have allegedly sourced them for. The reason they don’t do that brings into question the very validity of the ones they use. ALWAYS they quote some pro rata massive differential in price in their favour - ALWAYS. Yet other than unrealistic and often permanently out of stock manufacturer website RRPs, there is never any information trail verbally or on the graphic to where they got the price from - just the date. You can even image search the product for price comparisons yourself - yet never come up with the excessive prices they quote. Where they actually get these unsourced price differentials from, I’ll leave people to speculate upon. Interestingly, though…on the rare occasions they do find a big name retailer selling what appears to the same (check) product for more…they simply cannot wait to shout it from the rooftops…”WE ARE CHEAPER THAN AMAZON!!!!”
I was also clear in saying ‘price comparisons’. I never categorised to ‘direct’ or ‘indirect’. Why? Because they shouldn’t even be doing the indirect version. They are being ‘smart’ over this issue with people they clearly regard to be not so - their targeted potential customer base. And they know it. You price compare like for like products. When I want to buy a particular motor car, say, to establish potential savings to be made, I go on to Auto Trader and search that exact model for dealer price variants. I don’t search for Aston Martins when I want to buy a Suzuki…That bog standard rationale should cover all forms of shopping. The only place it doesn’t appears to be at the new version of Ideal World.
Shop Owner: “I just checked and this pair of £30 headphones is £130 at another shop.”
Customer: “Oh really - where?”
Shop Owner “I don’t have to tell you that.” “Bring them back for a refund if you ever find out where.” “Oh…but don’t open the box or try them out as you’ll invalidate the returns policy.”
Shop Owner: “And look at these £5000 headphones that the £30 ones look a bit like…That’s a £4970 saving for you today to make.”
Customer: “Goodbye.”
That about sums their price comparisons policy up, doesn’t it?

I normally use IW to doze off with. He was selling some Parfum, and he said Brad Pitt would wear this, that was my turn off point.

Did he specify that it was THE Brad Pitt? There might be a chap with the same name working in Pedro's local kebab shop!
