Just thinking, what winds you all up totally, to the point of chewing ones face off? Be very interested and I bet we are all nodding at each others posts hehe.

1) Debbie Shore trying to sound sexy in voice over ads.
2) Dennice refering to her daughter as 'special needs' when it's completely irrelevant. "My daughter is special needs and she can use this makeup".
Makes me feel its all she sees her as. Den, drop the 'needs' and you have a better description of your wonderful daughter.
3) Stephanie Weightmans private giggly jokes with the gallery ALL show long.
4) Michelle Marsdens voice.
5) Julie Wilkinsons feet stories which are now stupid as she can wear every range they ever put her in.
6) Jewellery guests telling us how rare and underpriced this ring is over and over again.

And her even worse attempts to flirt :)eek: oh, where is the vomity smily when you need it!!) with Nigel and now Malcolm Marsden!!
 
Great thread :)

For me it has to be the selling of the same 1 or 2 items for a whole hour, even worse when its pick of the day, then they can go on and on and on and on and on about that 1 item for up to 2 hours arghhhhhhhhhh

Ideal World is not a patch on QVC... Ideal World don't even come close!!!!!1
 
I buy the Zhuzh tan accelerator, which is fab, but goodness they talk the talk on it for 2 hours!!!
 
I remember someone posting on here before the site went POP that Ideal World was the £1 shop of shopping telly, I agree.

All of the above, in fact everything about IW winds me up.
 
The presenters persistently making out that they actually have every bliddy product they demonstrate, everything from cordless phones to corsetry...I wear mine for the school run etc etc etc, or if they're not purporting to own the product in question, they recently paid three times the price for a similar product and it doesn't have half the features that this one does....agggh!

I also don't care much for Stephanie's giggly girly act........

Also hate it when they're selling something which is obviously bottom of the range, making comparisons with high end stuff, I've seen them selling a £9.99 dinner service and suggesting that it's on par with Royal Doulton, or saying how very "Chanel" a cheap pair of sunglasses, or handbag looks, and the worst, comparing a cheap ameythst ring the crown bliddy jewels!

..and of course all the son or daughter off to uni, motor home, manual dexterity problems scenarios they make up!
 
they have no easy pays , and their postage as far as ime aware is much more than qvc even for the very small items which in postage terms should be much less:cool:


And their delivery policy stinks. What's the point of introducing a new feature telling you when your parcel should arrive when it's a fairy tale? I don't know why it should be but this seems to be with Ideal World purchases rather than C&C - my craft stuff recently has arrived as scheduled but the IW stuff I'm still waiting for. And one of them is their own damned product so they can't blame any other company. Not only that but they still don't give a flying damn about missing orders -right enough, why should they - grabbing the money immediately means they're all right!!
 
All those Flyflot pick of the days.

A whole show about one product.

The models saying how wonderful all the old fashioned clothes are.

Phoning customer service to find you can't understand them or they can't understand you operators ( no I'm not racist don't care, where they come from as long as I can understand them)

Postage too expensive although I have bought some craft basics when it's free PP.

Stephanie Weightman :mad: She annoys me so much!
Agree about Dennice going on about her special needs daughter...boring and unnecessary
Awful fashions although they do provide a laugh on here ;)
Any presenter saying SLINKY is fashionable

Ditto for Fleaflots, kaftans etc
Their "Deals", when you can find most things cheaper online
Ellis
People who call in
That Pig of the day advert....was so awful, IW reached new lows

All of the above

and

that almost every product is found cheaper on an alternative web site with cheaper or free P&P.

I imagine the presenters get a discount so if they do really buy from elsewhere - they obviously don't think much of the things they sell!

Always makes me smile when they bang on about the buying power of......means we can get it so much cheaper - when you only have to look elsewhere on the internet and chances are you can find it a fair bit cheaper. They must think we were born yesterday!
 
And also when they keep stroking the pillows and pushing them and poking them for goodness sake - get a life!
 
Their call centre / customer services. Used it once. Never, ever again!

That bluddy woman from Flea Flats.

How they claim they are giving you a bargain by knocking a couple of quid off (they did this on fleaflats POTD once) then charge you an arm and a leg for the P&P. Some bargain ...

I could go on and on but I'm on my lunch break so time is tight!

To be honest, the only good thing about the channel is Loen! If she goes, they are doomed.
