A Taste of Christmas TSV 09/10/20

[MrMarple]

Jeez, I missed that! I confess I am very occasionally tempted but I work out the cost per item including P&P and it puts me right off. Those marshMALLOW choc bombe things, which I wouldn’t have been interested in but my niece would kill for, were all but £20 for 6 - £3.32 per drink and then you have to add your own milk.

I confess, I bought those hot chocolate things last year and I didn’t think they were too bad of a price until I noticed something similar in Tesco shortly after for less than a fiver for three. (They were selling them in singles, still nicely presented in a gift box for £1.50 each).
Okay, so the Q ones were probably slightly better quality I suppose but I was buying them for some children who I doubt would care if the chocolate came from Belgium or from a factory in Peckham.

I’ve never ordered food or drink from Q, but I do love very dark chocolate,wondering if Hotel Chocolat will have a tsv.

I think so as someone asked on Arsebook and answer was Mid October and Early November.

I think I am particularly mean. There are some things I’ll splash out on myself, even so. I thought the brownies looked nice but a couple of days later, I would have been £32 down and 32lb up!

Mr L gets “upset” (aka yellowing at TV) when anyone says ALLmonds rather than AMonds,but I suppose this is a regional thing but he insists the L is silent (and who am I to disagree!!!,)

Or 32 quid down the loo, literally.

I moved up from Devon at quite a young age and literally had to learn how to say certain words in order to fit in and not get laughed at. I say Armonds now but it took a lot of practice not to say Olmonds as I naturally would say it, same with Bolcony (Balcony), Toof (tooth)..but I've never said marshmellow!

 

[ERICS MUM]

If gin is your tipple or you want to “gift” some, you couldn’t do any better than choosing from an extensive range in M & S.

Re tins of posh biscuits, we have at least 3 garden centres near us with good ranges of them, posh gifts of beers, relishes or jams, hand made chocs etc. All much better value than QVC’s offerings and no postage.

That’s made me laugh! So you had to alter how you said things (correctly) to fit in?! I agree it’s AAmonds not ALmonds but who am I to say since I say filUm instead of film (Scottish thing) not that I’ll need to say it much now since Cineworld is closing down due to lack of new filUms coming out

 

[Toril]

As it’s spelt marshmallows I don’t know where the “mellows“ bit comes from unless it’s another pronunciation from across the pond.

17th of this month the TSV. Has anyone tried these chocolates? They are expensive but look very nice.

 

[boffy]

There is no way you can beat M&S for clothes, food, wine and Christmas goodies QVC just cannot compete with thier over priced Christmas tat

 

[Clothescloth]

I see that Craig has received his ‘sample’ tins of gingerbread already! I wonder how many other presenters have had them ?

So when he says he, his mum, dad, sister, brother in law and nieces declare they are the best ever biscuits they have tried, we will be expected to believe him.
Yeah right until he’s on with Churchill’s

 

[Toril]

Lidl do gingerbread similar to the brand in the TSV, or they did last year.

I say ALmonds. Ask the hubster what he thinks of that?

Completely agree about M&S, have you seen their snowglobe bottle of gin? It is beautiful, it has gold flakes floating in the gin and the bottle lights up....oh yeah... it's the little things that make me happy. I don't drink and I have bought a bottle

 

[Toril]

I’ll own up to just having ordered the TSV for gifts as I know the recipients don’t watch QVC ..... and they can do what they want with the empty tin.

I ordered via QCut, because the site was playing up, and instead of being charged £29.97 plus P&P, I’ve been charged £29.93 including the P&P. That amount is now pending in my bank account. I’ve taken a screen shot of my account, showing the cheaper amount, in case they argue about it and try to take the extra.

 

[AndiK]

It’s Jilly H again on the TSV launch. No marshMELLOW this time but tonight she’s saying BelgIUM chocolate and that will make me scream nearly as much. That and the fact she will be sampling everything, making chomping sounds and telling us it’s delicious because that is soooo helpful (I mean thousands of people who haven’t yet decided whether to buy will be tuning in to see if she likes it!) mean I’m going for a bath.

PS Great result with your order, Toril! Don’t tell the baying mob on Facebook.

 

[grovesy]

Lot of money for tins of biscuits.
