Why is he so obnoxious? I have a real irrational dislike of him. Am I unreasonable?!?

As his sole representative, I'm prepared to do a deal for Percy Shelley's services. In a demonstration of the Christmas spirit I'll even agree to take the gig for the same fee as Gregggg's 🐢 💷💷💷💷💷💷

Don't leave us hanging. Read us our bed time story.

'Life on a plate' oh I see what he did there. Urgh. He's offering himself up to all of us on a plate. I'd send it back to the kitchen.

Oh this thread brings me such cheer Grin

Gregg Wallace is the kind of man who Google his own name.

Though I wish someone would just @ him and bbc light entertainment this thread on twitter.

Gregg Wallace is the kind of man who Google his own name

And wank over his own photos

Cauliflowersqueeze · 27/12/2018 00:16

Well I didn’t particularly like him. But now I’ve read this thread I could bludgeon him to death with a ladle!

MorningsEleven · 27/12/2018 00:37

I've got a really heavy granite rolling pin you could borrow.

brizzledrizzle · 27/12/2018 11:10

I'd send it back to the kitchen.

With the advice that it needed a lot longer under the grill?

@longwayoff Shock Shock Grin

Your family clearly has a good sense of humour

Is it only in our house that when gregg has tasted something - we always imagine that he will just say - I'll take that back to my dressing room and finish it off - just for the avoidance of doubt - a joke but it sort of sits with him doesn't it?

No seriously , I personally do not see what Gregg brings to the programme. When we watch it he is irritating and shouty and patronising. But as I have said - I think the BBC are disinclined to change anything if it works by way of numbers. Despite what many think. But if he genuinely gets more viewers well ..... It slightly grates on me though that some of my licence fee is paying gregg. Just a personal view.

Ah well . I do wish they would sack him though. Adds nothing.

treaclesoda · 27/12/2018 21:23

Have you ever heard anyone say 'oh great, there's a new programme on BBC, GregG Wallace is presenting it. Can't wait to tune in, he's a great presenter'?

Just for the avoidance of doubt, I've never heard anyone say that Grin

BasiliskStare · 28/12/2018 00:34

@treaclesoda

I have spent time thinking about this and after much consultation with my own brain and my family the answer is no.

I cannot fathom the Gregg thing. Some people must ( surely ) like him. They must - surely the BBC does not ignore opinions . But we have searched down the back of the sofa and cannot find Gregg fans

But Grin treaclesoda

BasiliskStare · 28/12/2018 01:02

@cauliflowerqueeze and @MorningsEleven - I do not condone violence in any way Grin . I have a marble rolling pin . I think the pen is mightier than the sword . I have complained to the BBC and they just do not care about comments about the man. I do think he is patronising , misogynistic , & and as a previous poster says his better comments are when he comments last. Surely no - one can deliver enough vegetables to the BBC to keep him on our screens. Streuth - He must have something on someone somewhere Grin

Happy New Year fellow Gregg dislikers!!

HapPy new year everyone. Sorry if you feel let down by the absence of tantalizing GregG snippets but I mislaid my lovely present by stuffing it under my daughter's pillow before leaving her house. No sign of it since but who knows what the future holds? Meanwhile, am looking for a copy of 'Nick Knowles, My Story' with which to seek revenge.
