Random musings and general banter.

Just look on m and m direct for cheap end of the line Bench clothing.

I think they must keep doing this pre-order later despatch so they can gauge how much demand there will be and thus the size of stock they need to buy to fufil orders.

Pedro is more suited to the 10pm slot. Pedro doing fashion is wrong in so many ways.

I would be better than him and I'm colour blind lol

He also had a medium size of those Barbour esque jackets the other day. A ‘Big Lad’ as ‘huge’ as him would not be in a medium or a large or an XL….He says anything that suits what he is selling at the time. He saw Sally with something he desperately needs earlier - her corsets? Those boxes are absolute class - not.

By the way…Ok and Right don’t reinforce fiction as truth.

Those leather bags look like the cheapo ones you can buy in Spain. Made of patchwork pieces of leather.

Those bags were on TJC this morning with Chloe. £19.99.

First layer patchwork, the handles are often not leather.

And at least she was honest enough to say that it was made from recycled off cuts. No mention of ‘First Layer Leather’ - whatever that is

More like third rate leather. The way he's going on, you'd think he'd never seen a bag before. I certainly wouldn't want to own one.

WTF is carpet bag leather,?

Now the dregs of the merino wool scarves from before Christmas. The patterns are hideous, buy both and get a discount. No thanks, I'll pass. According to the schedule, Mike has an Akai turntable at 9pm. Might be worth a watch, they are a decent brand.

Correction, just looked at Akai turntables, they are very cheap now. My late father was a hifi enthusiast, and I remember Akai being quite good quality. I might have known IW wouldn't sell anything half decent.

 

[Duke of Cheese]

Akai used to be a brand you looked at when I was in my 20s and 30s. No longer the same company that produced some great sound equipment back in the day. Similar story with the Blaupunkt name, too.

His light fell off several times. It was meant to stick. As typical, he just kept saying ‘terrific’ and just held the wretched thing in place with his hand. Then, going on to demonstrate the ‘great suction power’ by putting it on the flat counter. Comedy selling at its worst.

 

[Jazzydrury]

Mike is selling the old betterware again

 

[Duke of Cheese]

Why don’t they mention the source of the price comparison. What do they think by not doing that does for their credibility?

Why don't you watch something else?

Got to respect Eterna. After all, without the automatic winding they pioneered, we’d all have calloused fingers!
But I think they’ve contracted such a lot. They had such big ideas with the Caliber 39 - hoping it might be a real modular competitor to ETA and Selitta. But it wasn’t to be. I have a nice 1949 with the full calendar Valjoux 7751 in it that always makes me smile when I wear it.

Yeah it's a shame, they've such a small offering these days, I quite like the Kontiki bronze diver, just wish they made it slightly smaller, they do have smaller diver 38mm for the ladies, but not in bronze or the colour i would like..
I've just one Eterna, one from the Heritage Military 1939 Collection, re-issue/homage of the “Majetek” pilot watch which was issued to Czech Air Force pilots at the start of WW2.

Mike is just doing the old market stall schtick and you know what, it works !!
