Peter V is now on with Jeremy with that damn vac

 

[EmmaP]

Just turned onto TJC you wouldn’t think it was the same company

 

[EmmaP]

How comes TJC can say things like we’ve found it at Argos, But IW can’t

 

[Wanderer]

Peter Vonhaus must be doing all these extra expert slots to make up for Gen being unable to work.

Either that or he's escaping the house......

Even when they are offering a bulk buy of damp traps?

Coming up soon on TJC Medify Air Purifier....

Oh poo. Missed it. Did it manage to suck up the usual handful of rice crispies (other rice based cereals available!)

 

[Professor Branestawm]

Whilst we're on a horological thread, may I take this opportunity to publicly thank Professor Branestawm, who, after asking for servicing advise on one of my watches, gave me a contact of another FBHI member, who will shortly be receiving it. A lot of negativity recently, but there are still true gents and people about

Awww- thank you. I would’ve done it myself if my hands were still up to it.

Ooh yes, a 2 hour special it was.

 

[EmmaP]

I wonder how these presenters honestly feel doing 2 hour demos on one product

 

[Battiola73]

Ooh yes, a 2 hour special it was.

Must have sucked up at least one box of rice crispies then

indeed. Funnily enough, they didn't demo it attempting to pick up fluff, dog hair, little bits that might catch in the fibres of the carpet...in fact anything which might remotely resemble how the vacuum cleaner might peform in real life.

Of course, we're all too stupid to realise that light, large, dry, discrete particles, like Rice Krispies, are very easily sucked up by even the crappest vacuum cleaner...

 

[EmmaP]

It was a crappy vacumn

I did see a bit last night where he was picking up something that looked like currants. It picked up some of them, then when he switched it off, it spat them back out! The remainder on the floor were hastily removed off camera.

So do we expect the CV003 version next week, I reckon it will come with a Bluetooth Speaker so you can listen to music

I think the CV001 was a dustpan and brush. The CV002 was a step backwards.

The company’s name Vakrub made me chuckle

 

[Battiola73]

Oops Peter Vacuumitupnot picked it up and the filter fell out.

In her case 'bigs' would probably be more appropriate.

Doesn't say much for her fiancee's mother, either - did she think mother was going to inspect them? Get them forensically examined? Or put them on a flagpole in the garden?

Honestly, they'll be telling viewers to buy a portable washing machine so they can take it with them to the supermarket next: so handy for doing your smalls (or bigs) when buying the week's food. The tosh they come out with.

Yes, and backwards it spells 'burkav': I'd say the first four letters of 'burkav' sums up some of the presenters, especially if you replace the 'u' with an 'e'......
