Elizabeth Grant coming back to Ideal World? Just seen a preview.
They used to do great prices then the brand moved to QVC.
Interesting if happens.

That jacket looks a bit gash to me, sorry Baldie.

Doesn't seem to match the apparent IW demographic.

Ben Sherman, Soul Star - both reasonable mid-range fashion ranges.
Things are hopefully looking up (on menswear at least).

It’s Charlie

Which one? There’s loads of them working there. Male/Female/Non binary/Gender Neutral/Homosexual/Lesbian..
That should cover it. No discrimination here ..

In fact they are all ‘right Charlie’s’

He said it and it's an old term for a chemist, if I recall.

Oh heck it ages me. When I was a child we had an apothecary near where I lived. It was run by two elderly sisters and I always remember it because it had two large apothecary jars in the front window, one red and one blue. Both the sisters were actually qualified chemists and dispensed prescription medicines.

They also used to make up medicines from all the different bottles on their shelves, there wasn’t much in the way of over counter medicines in those days. As this was in the 1950s and not long after the introduction of the NHS, i think people went to the chemists for cures. Both my parents could remember the days before the NHS when they had to pay to see the doctor if and when they could afford it.

I ordered one last night.

But those jars have been open about 5 times today so will be loose

only just tuned in so didn’t realise that it’d been on before. I suppose I’m used to seeing similar objects being demonstrated on QVC when they use new jars or cans each time.

Please let us know how you get on with it

Usuk room aromas again.....

Maybe Apothecaries are still a thing in the rural idyll that OfTheMasons inhabits.

Edit- He'll need an air purfier running soon to reduce the VOCs he's just been spraying willy nilly.

Studio probably smells like a Parisian Brothel now.....

It does actually sound better: apothecary. Sounds 'classy'

Right, the constant uh huh is doing my head in.

Titan doesn't sound right applied to a beauty device, it might apply to a personal device....

 

[Assumpta]

That heart rate monitor after 2 mins was doing my head with that voice.
Those cheap exercise bike they had on last night no one noticed that the female presenters peddles were bent
Another tat watch show....how many times mike got to talk about the couriers are in their way geez what a load of BS

I might actually watch it. At the moment there is very little I want to see, and I did enjoy the gardening shows on old IW.
