Just now watching Bargain Hunt and liking Anita Manning’s lime green bowler hat😄she has a big hat collection it seems, many of the bowler style.I also like her clothes although DP just gives me a look and shakes his head and DD laughs.
I’d like the confidence to dress this way tbh.

She is good fun isn't she? but Oreo, you can dress however you wish. Maybe start adding a bit of colour? you'll soon get the hang of it smile

Ta JaneJudge it’s more the way she mixes colours and patterns that I admire, but yeah, I should use more colour it’s true.When not working I live in skinny jeans and jumpers and my one and only dress at the moment is olive green, and plain.

I saw Anita Manning on tv after days ago and she appears to have embraced her grey hair. She looked fantastic. I do love her bold colours, hats and jewellery.

I think she looks great as well - I love her hat collection and she wears loads of big jewellery that I like (but never wear).

I saw her recently on tv MiniMoon the grey hair did make her look older but suited her.
She’s such a tiny person yet doesn’t let that stop her wearing flamboyant clothes.I must be braver in future, hats suit me so I
Should buy a couple.At the least a bright pashmina😄

Do you think that was a wig MiniMoon I've not seen her with grey hair since then and my husband watches Bargain Hunt every day.........yawn

I have never worn a hat in my adult life had to at school but since then never had any kind on my head just don’t like them and don’t think they suit me
I don’t think Anita has ever changed her hairstyle has she ? The little flick up hahaha

I was disappointed with the style of her grey hair. It looked old- fashioned, for someone who is so stylish. She didn’t have the same charisma for me. Silly reaction, I know.

I always love here jewellery. She has some wonderful necklaces.

I watch Bargain Hunt every day and I love all the presenters on the show . Anita always looks well dressed with her jewellery and hats . Oh and I just love Charles Hanson , he’s such a delightfully happy guy with a twinkle in his eye , he really makes my day when he’s on the show .

I think she’s a lovely woman and when she is the auctioneer she always gets really good prices, too. Good for them for putting her in her role. Perfect.

Despite Bargain Hunt reruns with Anita , a recent one a few weeks back showed her with Grey Hair .
I recall being a local supermarket que , one year ,and she was in front of me having brought some items , as the show was being made in the in cellar below the supermarket , her other contestant show rounder was Catherine Southon who was walking around the stores aisles .

Yes, I saw the programme with her with shorter, grey, curlier hair and I thought she looked great - yes maybe older but some of the Bargain Hunt programmes are ancient.
I didn’t think much of Colin Young’s long hair

Juliet27 Sun 19-Feb-23 06:38:58

Tim Weeks is my favourite apart from the long hair and hat phase.

timetogo2016 Sun 19-Feb-23 12:10:34

I think Colin Young`s hair is a mid life crisis thing juliet27.
He seems a nice chap though.
My favourite ts is Paul Laidlaw.
Charles Hanson drives me mad.

Michael12 Sun 19-Feb-23 12:20:17

I did see Charlie Ross on one Friday in Bicester browsing around the towns market as he lives not far from Bicester .
I like Charlie Hanson's wit ,and he also as acquired a auction room in Banbury ,and Kate Bliss does once a month valuations of jewellery.

Anita Manning lives locally and I have met her a few times at her auction rooms. She is such a wonderfully bubbly character, terrific humour and enjoys a blether. I love her style, especially the hats. No need for a wig, she has found her look with an easy manageable style for thick hair.

AreWeThereYet Sun 19-Feb-23 14:30:46

My favourite is Paul Laidlaw too. Love him to bits. Charles Hanson drives Mr A potty but I love him. He seems to have few boundaries and says and does the most inappropriate things but he makes me laugh. He's a bit like a 5 year old that's escaped from school. I think if he was at one of my (imaginary) auctions I'd be inclined to throw something at him or strap his hands down 😁

Oreo Sun 19-Feb-23 17:25:09

Haha, Charles Hanson is a likeable character tho.
Is Paul Laidlow the Scottish guy? I agree the long hair is a bit of a weird and midlife crisis type thing (Colin Young).
Anita likes green and it’s my fave colour too.

I love Phil Serrell, hubby loves his scarves and when he wears one he says, need my Phil Serrell on today, its freezing. Phil is also very knowledgable and has a great eye for a bargain.
I also love Christin.e Trevannion, and of course Anita is such a lovely warm personality

The only one I don’t like is the snotty voiced thin man with glasses.

Grandmabatty Mon 20-Feb-23 06:58:55

I have heard from my art tutor,who knows Anita, that she's not awfully well at the moment.
