I think that’s already sitting in the GB News studio!

Charlie has definitely gone to C&C - I saw his introduction last week.

Can't take to Niki McEwan who stands there like a perma-tanned dummy. What makes a "make-up artist" an ideal craft presenter?

Of a raft of unbearable presenters she comes so close to the top! She's a pretentious, patronising little girl who thinks she's talking to other little children. I said it in my own thread but I can't help thinking JM are in serious trouble - hours and hours of the same presenter, whole days...

A thread on their Facebook visitors' posts started on July 3 had this quote from their team - "Hi Jewellery Makers. Yes, we can confirm Colin has left JewelleryMaker and unfortunately Scott will also be leaving us on Friday, they will both be sorely missed and we wish them all the best."

Colin Wagstaffe has left - to me that's one of the big pointers to something being wrong, as he was the managing director!!

My absolutely least favourites are Carol Roach - her of the massive ego who thinks the whole world is waiting for her to burst into "song" - and Becky Reddican who doesn't seem to realise that she is dealing with adults, and is also so very full of herself. And as for Zena and the way she...

JM have really been going downhill recently. Fewer and fewer guest designers now (losing the best): Colin Wagstaffe, among others, has left: postage up: presenters on the whole are so up themselves that they're meeting themselves coming back: shorter and shorter strands:I could go on! The thing...

Thing is, one of their other channels, Jewellerymaker, is going the same way - professsionalism out of the window, certain presenters acting like they are on something, "singing" at every opportunity, squelling, shouting, braying and snorting - I just can't watch it any more unless it's muted...

I think they've completely lost the plot since they grew so rapidly. Their treatment of people who dare to give honest feedback on Facebook is one of their worst traits - they ban them!!! I also think they've forgotten the meaning of the word "ethics" -they quite often pass on misleading...

The Boots website now has a reasonable range. Don't know how available it is in stores.

I had to stop watching - never heard such a load of pretentious drivel.

I get the feeling from the reviews that people were using it as an ordinary charger rather than as an emergency one - one was trying to charge a netbook and was disappointed that it only charged it to 80% !!!!! I would have thought that was a bit of a miracle!

I'm probably going to be unpopular now but you're not allowed to criticise anything on the JewelleryMaker facebook page and I need to vent!!!! My lord, this birthday marathon production makes Ideal World look professional in comparison! The screeching, "singing", ego massaging and fake surprise...

There's an ipad browser called Puffin which supports Flash. The free version allows you to "road test" it for a while before you buy (sorry, can't remember, but it might be a couple of weeks), and it's not expensive to buy the full version.
