I think the Guinness Book of Records needs to be informed...

Remember when you all get your wallet out for the new, never seen before Duchump Aurora, designed by Christophe himself in his wee workshop up in the Alps, you could always just go and buy the original from Roamer that the Aurora is copying, okay slight changes to dial but it's basically the same watch.

Actually, I really like that watch!

Too early for wasps especially up here, usually see bees first in spring then wasps come later.

I’m right down on the south coast and never seen a wasp until at least May. Can’t remember the last time I bought any fly killer.

We do get the occasional bumble bee earlier if the weather is particularly warm, but certainly wouldn’t use anything to kill them.

He’d say anything to get a sale.

Saw Alex last night on TV, so thought I’d message him on Message on here to let him know how my sleep was going.

He replied. He hoped we are all well, he hasn’t been on air much, as his daughter hasn’t been well, but is on the mend

Elizabeth Grant is back, with Natalia, Sally and the old Brand Ambassador from the old IW, but no longer looks full of Botox.

The effect of Botox must wear off as you have to keep doing it.

However I'm not speaking from personal experience. I look so young I don't need it

Regarding that Insect Killer, are people really that dumb, if they have had hardly insects coming in, that gullable to think, Because Pedro says he gets army’s of insects flooding. In that you must buy

Is that the same BA that’s on QVC?

Glad I missed it not because of the products but the presenters. If it’s the same BA that’s on QVC then she’s ok.

I don’t know much about Botox as never had or wanted it. I suppose to keep the plastic look it has to be topped up regularly. I have been asked in the past if I’d consider Botox plastic surgery or any other such malarkey, my answer has always been you can’t improve on perfection.. i’d rather have my few wrinkles and age disgracefully rather look like a plastic Barbie. And I certainly would not like to look like Natalia a.k.a. the fish lip gargoyle.

I turned on near the end, the ambassador had blonde hair

Yep, that's Juliet Harrison Piper. She was the replacement BA for Elizabeth Grant on IW2, when Marion stopped coming over to do the shows. Then, when IW lost EG, Juliet went over to QVC with the brand - something I was always a bit surprised at, because Juliet is very much not QVC aspirational friendly. They had a go at scrubbing her up a bit, doing her hair, spending a bit of money on her and generally trying to make her more cookie cutter QVC BA, but with limited success. Anyway, she's now back on IW3, and I wonder how she feels about that. I suspect she thinks it's a bit of a backwards step, what with the bright lights of Chiswick Park a distant memory now.

I had a Quick Look on QVC as usually if a brand goes to IW3, then QVC will no longer be selling it. There’s still loads on the QVC website and only a few at special prices.

Just checked the programme guide and there is a show scheduled for 18th March. It’ll be interesting to see if it’s all on sale or if they’ll have a new BA.

I noticed that, and thought it odd that QVC is clearly still selling EG, and even some of the stuff is on Waitlist or extended dispatch. As you say, it's unusual.
