from listening to the screeching Eidar or whatever, currently on Phase Eight and because she's such a rubbish presenter, fumbling over what to say next, so everything is 'EXCITING' YEAH ! her and the guest sound like shrieking budgies. I'd had enough.
 
The only fashion guest worthy of the title (IMO) is Lesley Ebbetts and I haven’t seen her for ages. Does she still appear on Weds with Kathy Tayler ?
 
Love Lesley Ebbetts. I'm watching the Together show. Is Jenny drunk? Her face is very red and she's acting a bit odd, not outrageous but just a bit loud and leapy and she's trying to phone her mum :mysmilie_11:

There's a lace layered top being aired and I have a top in the exact same fabric but in orange that I bought from Kim & Co. That big warehouse of fabric seems more and more of a probability.

Well, the Marla Wynn offering of a tsv is almost a replica of the cuddle duds dress from last year ! so maybe the warehouse has special offers on !
 
The presenter that make my ears bleed is the dark haired Natasha, I have seen her with Lesley and Glen the fashion guru. I haven't seen her on the main channel yet.
 
Just channel hopped on to QVC and Chloe Everton screeching and orgasming over shoes, styles of shoes I’ve never seen her wear, both her and guest fighting it out who gets the most air time is making my ears bleed, goodness knows how she’d react if she ever found out you can buy them in catalogues cheaper with free delivery. So over the channels quickly goes.
 
I am not keen on any of the new 'presenter's that I have seen lately.


I saw Chloe on the other day with a guest selling a tooth cleaner. She just would not stop talking over the guest, and smirking at the camera. I was interested in the item, and got so annoyed as I wanted to hear about the item.

She looked scruffy, and I swear the guest looked her up and down, as if to say 'what a scruffy mess you look'.

Yesterday Jackie Kabler kept asking Carla how old she was. Carla did not want to say, but Kabler kept going on and in the end Carla, off camera, told her. Then Kabler said, oh, you are 7 or 8 years younger than me. So if you know how old Kabler is you would be able to work out how old Carla was. I just thought how rude, if Carla did not want to say how old she was then that is her choice. Of course, whilst all this was going on the item they were trying to sell was forgotten all about. What a way to run a company.
 
Agree Anna saw the Carla / Kabler age debate, I just wanted to shout ‘drop it’! The odd bit of interaction, conversation os OK but sometimes they do not know when to stop.
 
Sometimes I see teenagers/young 20’s acting the wag and think “was I as childish at that age?” As I was working and keeping a house whenn was 20, but think it is just me getting old.

However when I see many of Q presenters, especially Chuntley and spaniel ears I also ask was I like that in my 40’s. this time the answer isn’t that I’m gett8ng old it’s that they are total binlids who think they are still teenagers and are a disgrace to 21st century womanhood acting like ‘ittle me I can’t count but I can build a house. Sometimes I think our grandmothers wasted their time fighting to get on in the world.

I often wonder about that when I'm forced to listen to younger family members talking about Instagram etc.

I absolutely agree with your comment about our grandmothers' wasted time, too. I despair when I think how I fought to get on in a male-dominated industry when all girls these days seem to want is to be on reality shows. And don't get me started on how (and I got this first-hand from my niece) some girls allow themselves to suffer relationships where the boys just want sex like they've seen in porn online then complain about it. Or spend all their time playing online games. Dump them, idiots! Surely there must be some young blokes out there that don't behave like this?

I'd rather have been single than put up with blokes like that. Still would if something happened to my OH.

The Me Too hashtaggy thing? These girls have no idea what some of us went through even 20-30 years ago. Sexist bad behaviour still goes on, but at least they have the law on their side these days.
 
We subscribe to Readly and when bored I flash through those awful magazines full of love island types. I’ve always thought of them with total distain as totally useless people taking up valuable space on this planet.

However today whilst flicking through I felt sad that these, mostly young females, are living a life where your worth is measured on how much like a 1980’s sex doll you can be and how everything is based on how many times you can appear in tacky magazines/social media with some fake news headline about your sex life or infidelities.
Self inflicted yes, but maybe not the bed of roses that it first seems. I think the difference is that previous generations didn’t have the time or money to indulge in modern madness we were just too busy keeping our heads above water as we had to stand on our own 2 feet.
 
I think we've all had enough of the antics of these presenters, and I've decided to write (again) to Robert Muller the CEO in the States.

I would like - with all your permissions and WITHOUT any identification, to cut and paste your comments on all the nonsense we get on our screens from the presenters while we wait for product information.

It will give credence to my own comments on the dumbing down of his operation in the UK - bad enough that we don't get the same choice of goods as the USA, but we also do not get the professionalism on air that I bet they wouldn't put up with across the Pond.

Thanks

Please ask the man to take personal responsibility for this & not just delegate to the dickhead in charge of the UK part - since s/he made zero difference last time you contacted him (It was you, no? ) Perhaps also mention the trust pilot rating of Q UK - one star if I was looking at the correct info last time.
 
Absolutely SisB, and yes you're right it was me that wrote before, and yes he did lob the moan over to the chief honcho for the UK. To be fair there was a marked difference in the nonsensical chit chat almost immediately, but only for a short while before it started up again.

And yes I will mention the pilot rating - thanks for the info.
 
Plus the fact that not so long ago they harped on about being second only to JLP in some poll only to drop a place every year until they have dropped over the edge. Was that Trust pilot?
 
Maybe the arsebook posts from ex groupies who have had the veil lifted from their eyes would show it’s not just us old farts!
 
I remember that, when Chuntley was banging on about QVC being second most trusted brand, then third, when they dropped out the running altogether you never heard her mention it again, funny that. Now QVC are rated bad on Trustpilot with one star, are QVC arsed enough to change though, absolutely not.
 
I don't know about a zombie apocalypse, but there's definitely some kind of up-their-own-arse apocalypse going on with the presenters at Q.

What age group bumps up the sales? I'm pretty sure it's not the younger people unless they're buying well-known make-up brands. I was just about to mention that most of the skincare seems geared to older people and anti-ageing, but whenever I read reviews on Makeupalley I see women in their twenties using hardcore ingredients like retinol and raving over it. I'd be raving over it if I still had my twenties skin!

So maybe the youngsters are propping up the sales. If they're anything like my friend's niece, they never return stuff either. My friend was quite shocked to see dozens of bags from ASOS and other companies propped up in the spare bedroom, mostly unopened. When she asked if liked or was she was trying/keeping/returning any she replied "probably". More money than sense (but constantly moans she can't afford to buy her own place).

All I know is the younger presenters they've brought, in tittering away about crap, preening in the monitors and banging on about social media are more annoying than the older ones doing the same. Someone needs to remind them that vanity is never pretty.

While you're at it, Brissles, can you ask him wtf is up with having men with no interest in fashion presenting it (particularly underwear where they look like rabbits trapped in headlights - more cringeworthy viewing), and females who are clearly clueless and disinterested in DIY etc., then start with their false wows and screeching over guests who actually have something important to add to the product?
 
Really just ask them to shut the place down for a couple of months and only reemploy the old ones when they have sworn on their loved ones life to shut TF up about unnecessary crap. Burn the iPads and as soon as they start screeching taser them.

Perhaps a couple of months without salary and freebies might sharpen their pencils.
