Random musings and general banter.

Ok, I'm NOT kidding you, I literally just went on to the YT feed and stopped at a random bit of the presentation. Just when he said ...

Have a buy, if you're a sea mistress or sea man!!!

Of course I started to think of something a bit naughty but I'll leave it there

Come on, is it April 1st? That so called sewing machine has surely got to be a joke??? It's like something you'd buy a child!!!

Join us naughty ones, you know you want to

More low quality tat. He reckons you can sew curtains on that teeny, tiny sewing machine.

Yeah - for a dolls house.

Torchy reckons he bought the led hairbrush and cap. Vain or what?

I’m sure he has his own language or he’s pig ignorant. I make a lot of my own clothes and class myself as a seamstress. The male equivalent is tailor.

I know as much about sewing as you could write on the back of a postage stamp. But even I could see that ridiculous machine would just about meet its level of optimum maximisation putting a new set of unnecessary flies on Action Man’s jumpsuit. The people who plan this stuff (the ones they keep in special rooms round the back), you’d love to hear them explain their rationale for selling a tiny plastic sewing machine more suitable for Barbie’s craft room as a serious working product? They do genuinely think they are selling to eighthwits, don’t they? As for Simon…he’d sell you a chocolate sun visor for a trip to the Sahara by suggesting you keep it in the fridge beforehand. He has ABSOLUTELY no shame whatsoever.

Before when they had a Sewing machine, they used Yiannis as a guest, which isn’t as daft as it sounds seeing he sold then for years.

And it wasnt like he wasn’t in the building

He said someone emailed/texted in saying they'd been charged £57 for a zip to be fixed or redone in some way. 'Buy this, do it yourself' he says. One, I would assume doing a zip takes a degree of skill? Two, the thing was wobbling about all over the place! Surely it's at risk of falling over unless being used for small work with light material? I know feck all about sewing, however surely trying to feed larger/heavier material through that toy would be nigh on impossible?

Can Torchy stitch up, though- other than the watch buyers? Did he actually sew when he was on the crafting channel? Or just stand there looking like Captain Black at a karaoke night? That sewing machine is like a Sally Jacks sales pitch - no depth, no substance and no quality. I would be worried about injuring myself using it - particularly to sew up a bleeding thumb.

Right, we have 50 pairs of jeans to iron today, 25 pairs of curtains and 10 sets of king size bedding. Did you bring the iron?

Yes I did ...

Nah he just there

He’s better with just a needle and thread.

I thought that this is a quilt makers iron? They sold them as such on C&C. have a similar one in my sewing room that I use for pressing seams and adhesive interfacings whilst dressmaking. Big iron used to actually ironing finished garments.

“It’s not a typo,” says Terry Scott. He means we might think that dolls house sewing machine at £19.99 should have been a more expensive .99…Agreed on typo. You could indeed think the whole channel was a massive one. An interesting misspelling of Twats Selling Tat…As for the toy sewing machine - £9.99 possibly? £1.99?? 0.99p???

The Dr. now says he likes to chat with older people…People like him, does he mean?
