Worrying sign?

[Deasmum]

Toby has just said that he will not be on the rest of the week because he has nothing to show. Given that we are on the run up to Christmas, isn't this a worrying sign that not all is well at Gemporia?

More like Troth is hogging the hours to flog more Jadeshite or shite shells

How Gemporia have hung on so long is a mystery to me. I honestly did not think they'd see this year out.

I've been thinking 'that' almost since I started watching them. Each BD after 16. But just like a certain orange person, it seems they will be going forever.

I've seen nothing that shows that they're improving or rapidly gaining more customers though - so I suspect they're just 'treading water' each year.

I wonder how much longer that can continue? It'll be interesting to see if they survive next year once the rise to minimum wage kicks in plus the increase in employers NI contributions that the government announced in the budget.

The minimum wage increase is likely to affect the cost of paying the warehouse and call centre staff - and the NI increase will increase the cost of every PAYE employee they have too.

In addition to that, they've taken in new presenters - whilst also having to pay Jess Foley maternity pay.

What baffles me most is that viewers are still tuning in - or are they?
I can't understand how anyone can watch now.
I check in occasionally, out of curiosity, just to see if anything has changed. All I ever see is Dave T., droning on and on continuously, and as boring and repetitive as ever. When is this going to stop? They can't call it a 'show' because it clearly isn't one! You'd lose the will to live, watching that drivel day after day!
Surely someone in management can see how awful it is, that's if there is any management left! It must be embarrassing, from the point of view of the staff, having to be there and endure that endless self-promoting claptrap every day. 'Gemporia' it is not, there is absolutely no resemblance to it. If they can't do better than this then please do the decent thing and call it a day.

Wonder if Professor Troth will be invited to host the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures next year?

They will probably cut staffing levels. That will mean worse service, no doubt. You'll still be waiting for your "rare" piece of jade to arrive next Christmas.

They had a show on the other day where c.s. Said they had an item I was interested in scheduled so I tuned in. As it turned out they didn’t show it and it was DT as usual. Has anyone noticed the fawning adoring messages sent in to the studio by his fans. One said “ Thank you for your education your commitment and your making things available to us that we wouldn’t get otherwise” He was showing larimar which I bought on TJC at least a decade ago ago. Cringeworthy.
