Had you a spare £19.50, you could have bought a ticket to see “The Best of British Mediumship” tonight, which featured the psychics Colin Fry and T.J. Higgs (the latter of whom, is of course not to be confused with the bargain basement retailer, T.J. Hughes; and to assist you with this distinction, here is a photo of TJ Higgs standing with her colleague, Colin Fry):-

And here is a photo from the Maidstone branch of the retailer T.J. Hughes:-

Another distinction is that for £19.50, TJ Hughes can provide you with a fair bit of clothing and/or electrical goods; which seems much better value than paying £19.50 to witness T.J. Higgs exploiting the grief of the bereaved. I just don’t get it. How on Earth do these psychics get away with such obvious fraudulence in the first place, never mind getting paid such huge sums of money for it? It beggars belief that people will part with twenty quid, just to be told the same old schpiel; usually along the lines of: “Your mother says she still loves you, thinks Alan is a good man at heart and wants you to carry on living in the cottage”. The way I see it, either these ‘psychics’ are simply con-artists - and therefore should be locked up, just like any other criminal would be. Or they truly believe that they have the gift of talking to the dead - in which case they should be locked up, just like any other clearly insane person would be.

But you have to hand it to Colin Fry and T.J. Hughes – they are at the top of their game. This show, after all, is “The Best of British Mediumship”, so they cannot simply just be dismissed as exploitative fraudsters, or deluded mentalists. Of course not – that would be a highly unfair disservice. These people are the BEST exploitative fraudsters and/or deluded mentalists in the whole country! They are masters of the fraudulent and/or deluded trade.

And that’s not all. Judging by their photos, they are also blessed with the accolade of being the most owl-like entertainers in the whole of the showbiz world.

Take a look for yourself:-
