He is on at the moment- what a plonker he is.

He was on yesterday with Kim from Six Penny Memories. It was a car crash. He could not remember what she was telling him about the items on sale. He clearly knows nothing about machine embroidery but surly must be professional enough to fake it more convincingly, or else hold his hand up and admit his lack of knowledge. He had to keep mentioning America on the flimsiest of pretexts.
He also kept referring to Lisa Horton, who was on next, as Liz!
Dawn Wheeler did better than him when she had to present at short notice

The name rings a vague bell but I can't picture him. I don't generally like presenters who make it all about themselves. I don't mind the occasional personal anecdote but not a whole show of "look at me". Especially when there's the product specialist trying to demonstrate and they won't let them get on with it.

Totally agree Mitzi. Especially now the demonstrators are only given a limited time to demonstrate. I preferred the old days when we had one hour shows and lots more demonstrations. The demos aren't as good either as now it seems everything is pre-prepared and it's just a case of sticking something on with a tape pen. I learnt all my crafting from C&C years ago when the demonstrators had more time to explain exactly how to prepare a base for a card or how to make a bag or box to decorate. I'd love to know how to make some of the gift bags for instance that Crafters Companion use to decorate but they rarely explain. It's sell, sell, sell now and banal chatter.

How to ruin a Sizzix show ? Put Rob Locke on telling bad jokes and talking about himself yet again. Could not watch the Lisa Jones show he was so awful. He obviously thinks he is excellent from the attitude. Contrast with Dave Bradford who is crafting on the Cadence show doing a great job

That was why I always liked Dave, always quiet, tells us what we want to know, and asks the right questions.
