Hi Alex, I'm glad that you don't feel bullied but you're absolutely right in that how it is perceived is the important thing.

I would never ask you to give your views on colleagues but for me, as a woman, it's the rampant sexism from Mike that offends me. When recounting a story where a woman has got the better of him we get comments like "alright darling have a day off", I've heard loads of comments like that.

I'm 57 and have had to put up with this as long as I can remember. Comments like "cheer up darling, it might never happen" just because you're merely walking down the street and not dancing and singing songs from South Pacific. And if you challenge it you get accused of being a man hating lesbian. In fact I had a comment like that when I was coming home from hospital after my mother died of cancer in front of me. I won't repeat the language I came out with.

I thought the 1970s so called comedian act had no place in the 21st century, let alone on a shopping channel.

Feel free to pass these comments on to him.

Hope you enjoy your holiday.

Thoroughly agree, Muttley. My mum had similar when she got back home from Great Ormond Street after the death of my brother at nine months old, with a neighbour having a go at her for leaving mud from pram wheels on a communal stairway carpet. She went mad at her (the neighbour).

The last military retail engagement I saw between Front Privates Mason and Captain Knowles during the Retreat from Pillowgate, was a dirty war by Back Privates Mason and totally unacceptable to me as a viewer. Lieutenant Knowles made the very same point as we all do - i.e. it’s what it came over as, rather than what it was (though despite the Chief of Staff’s assurances to the contrary, I remain convinced Reduced to the Ranks Mason was picking on him to get a laugh). And to me, in non-military terms, that was one presenter being undermined and continually ridiculed by the more senior one. That conduct by Bugle Boy Mason not only had an impact on how he SHOULD have been treating the Brigadier (with respect) but also had a detrimental effect on the exploding pillows and trench cover blankets armaments the Rear Admiral was trying to sell with a military retail bearing. Particularly when Trumpeter Mason feigned being asleep when under cuddle blanket product interrogation by Sergeant Knowles. As I said in a previous post - if I had been the advertiser paying for that campaign and then seen the main host snoring in a shop window bunker, I would have withdrawn my backing for it, as it was making my products look dull. Totally immature behaviour from Mason, and I sincerely hope not to see similar again.

Hi Duke, I'm so sorry you lost a brother, I can imagine how your mum reacted to the incident with the pram.

As regards Mason, I think he believes he's doing a comedy act rather than selling products (same as Peter). I appreciate that you don't want a boring presentation, but pretending to be asleep when a co-presenter is demonstrating is unfunny, it's not big and it's not clever. You can have a lighthearted presentation and have a laugh with a colleague that doesn't look like its at their expense. And it shows disrespect to the product.

And he's too old to get away with the overgrown cheeky schoolboy act. He needs to grow up, preferably before he collects his pension.

Non existent Trevor has lost 5 and a half stone using the vibration plate. 🤣🤣🤣

I'm surprised non existent Trev can afford the vibration plate after all those watches he's bought. I may visit the Cotswolds to see if I can find him, should be easy to spot with a flashy watch and an Instagram influencer on each arm🤭

Will the watches get damaged if he’s wearing them when using the vibration plate?🤣
 
Was watching a fryer demonstration last night with Mason and Remblance.
Managed to get a screenshot..not sure who is who though😁

Dirty Peter''s going to be bringing his favourite product.
Yes, the vibration plate - he's had one for 15 years, he was obese, he lost MORE than five-and-a-half-stone.
The fairy tale that gets trotted out every time.

Just an excuse to get the crusty shorts on. Last night he had 9 left, this morning he's got over 20.

That would have been the great value model for £79.99? Even though other retailers are selling comparable models for £30 upwards.

I told you, they don't haggle prices down the way, they haggle UP the way ;)

That's a co-incidence, as an earlier post here by Galesgal57 recounts how he said that our mate Trev from the Cotswolds also lost five and a half stone using the vibration plate🤔. Surely this is cheaper and better for our health than everyone being on that weight loss drug. I hope the makers and IW have contacted the NHS...

He just said him and Bet bought a new mattress last year, and the springs are already sticking out! They must have been giving it quite a thrashing. 🤣🤮

I've put angry face for this post as the comment from the presenter is either complete bullsh1t or as you say, what the heck have they been doing on it?
