She was on earlier in the QVC garden with the little rasping gnome touting his, yawn, Flower Power. Cue the usual enlarged photos of strawberries the size of footballs, peppers on steroids and azaleas, clematis and chrysanthemums of elephantine proportions. It was funny how the camera kept cutting away from Griffiths as her body language and facial expressions betrayed an air of abject boredom. Can't say I blame her, though. Everyone else has a day off and she has to be flogging overpriced tubs of phosphrous - one of the more abundant minerals on the planet. Perhaps the boredom was what befuddled her brain to such an extent she could not even do basic maths. The on-air duo were touting the 1.6kg tub, currently on offer for £22.98 down from the normal QVC price of £25.50. Griffiths repeatedly stated that the product had "£10 off" and "almost £10 off." NO IT DOESN'T, SARA! It has £2.52 off!!! Now the larger tub is down to £33.96 from £40, but even that isn't £10 off or "almost" £10 off," it's 6 quid off + a bit of change - therefore I fail to understand Griffiths's calculations.
"Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" said Jackson, the bowl of water taking on the jaundiced hue of piss as he heaped in a scoopful of granules, "this contains a wetting agent," he said. What'll that be, Richard? Water? Ever heard of mulching? That keeps moisture in the soil, doesn't it? Why all these chemicals? Griffiths struggled to get a word in edgeways as Jackson aggressively ran through the photos again. When it got to the colanderfuls of blackberries SG exclaimed that Flower Power improves the flavour. RJ just blatantly ignored her so she repeated herself. He briefly echoed what she said and seemed intent on moving on from that point.
I don't know about other people on this forum but I personally can't stand those oversized strawberries one sees usually in Asda. They just look totally unnatural. I grew up with a "kolektyvinis sodas" - the approximate equivalent of an allotment, and know exactly what home grown produce should look like - and it isn't like those pics RJ showed.
