Shopping Channels

[Bazile]

One 'minute ' they're all praising a product and a particular brand name , saying this is the one to buy .

Next day same product but this time - another brand name and this is the one to buy .

How do they get away with it ?

QVC for example - other shopping channels are available

Never watched a shopping channel and you haven't encouraged me to try it

[Bazile]

I don't really 'watch' them.

I just observe this while Chanel hopping

No 5, I hope :D

Anyone can recommend a product and say it's the bees knees - no law against that.

I like the one the monkeys drink.

That's what every shop does...stock different brands, and then try to entice you to buy one or any of them

Not sure I understand your point.

The chap selling duvets down the market may be selling car vacuums next week and they'll always be the best.

It's sales spiel.

The above in my post was a rhetorical question

//Anyone can recommend a product and say it's the bees knees - no law against that//

The post was not meant to be taken that seriously .

It just made me smile how one day they are telling you that make 'A' is the one to buy and then another day they are telling you that make 'B' is the one to go for

On shopping channels people tend to get drawn in by the hype. I've bought a few DIY bits and generally pleased with them, but occasionally you will buy things that you really don't have a use for. Nice Saturday morning viewing if you've nothing better to do.

Fair enough, I did wonder if you were losing it a bit.

Humour doesn't always carry in print :-)

[pastafreak]

Its too easy to come across as having "lost a bit " on here. I'm still searching...

It's down the back of the sofa, pasta...

Most likely...along with a lot of cat hair. Eeuuwww...
