    If you're familiar with the programme, those are not words you normally see together in the same sentence  :D

    I dislike anyone trying to flog me anything, esp if it's dressed up as something else.

    Me too Fire, it gets the hackles up. If anyone pushes me just a tad, that's me done and away.

    'One Foot In The Grave' Uff. I stole my ID from the curmudgeonly old Victor Meldrew.

    Strange as it may sound, I only watched the programme once so I only know you as you are and not the curmudgeonly one.

    I must admit that one of my  , hopefully my only, perversions is looking at the shopping channels. I never buy anything but with live TV and things can go horribly wrong.  What amuses me too is how they attempt to hide the deficiencies of a product.  How they drape nonchalantly over a bit of kitchen kit to stop it from sliding off the counter when they open the door, the disgusting mess that emerges from the latest cooking thing that they sprinkle icing sugar or sauce over to make it look edible, the jumpers with the puckered seams - latest style straight off the catwalk, the latest slimming aid lauded by a fat lady.  Simple pleasures.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    I think I'm missing something B3, or perhaps not. Do you sit and laugh at them?

    Yes. Best comedy in television and no canned laughter. Just don't buy anything.
