No it wasn't. A 100% saving on £10 is £10, which is 100% off making the item £0. Their initial offer was 100% more than what they ended up paying though. That, however, is not what he said.

@NathanE - I could be wrong, but I thought I saw Kevin putting it in the shopping trolley.

I guess, it was more than likely just a speech messup, nothing major.

Alan Sugar's said to him he's not looking for a grafter, he's looking for someone with some ideas and substance, so we'll see. I think he's got the most to him though, along with Raef :p :cool:.
 
I liked simon he seemed quite a genuine bloke and shouldn't have been called back, Kevin and Iain were a couple of bickering queens blaming everyone and everything in sight, they were terrible tbh.

My personal favourite at the minute is Simon, I just hope he can prove himself when it comes to managerial tasks and doesn't blow it for himself.

He's in with a real chance. I also like Lee, although I didn't even notice him until this week.

Simon has potential, Ian fluffed up... but could have got further into the competition as Simon definitely should have been out a few weeks back!

This is only the third week, he did blindingly well last week, can you remind us what Simon did in the first week that should have had him fired please.
 
Sorry i havn't read through the whole post so i apologise if this has been said before, but is Kevin, Matt Lucas in disguise?

I agree that Simon should do well in this. He seems like a good candidate. He just needs to show Alan 'beg your pardon' Sir Alan :p he can manage well and come up with good ideas not just graft.
 
Simon for the win.

He did well tonight - knew where the team was going wrong but team leader just didn't listen.

Simon also commanded the "sweat-shop" in the washing & ironing task. If he hadn't insisted the lads split up and started the washing and demanded the others came back to help, then they'd have easily lost the task.

Seems to encourage the team too, in my opinion

My bad, I mean the dude who looks like Matt lucas with blonde hair, I accidentally typed Simon twice in that sentence. :o:p
 
why didn't the lads buy at the whole sale places, Reading forums too, but just can;t see where they chose not to they where talking about tomatoes one minute, then suddenly at a supermarket :confused:
 
I repeat - Sara = hot.

Lot of the boys looked totally clueless today. I defo would have played it safe -> burgers, steaks, jacked spuds for the win!

That was my inital thought, but I suppose to attract people in for a special night only you need something with a bit of a twist. If some bloke came up to me in the street going "yeah, so we've got this new restaurant opening down the road at the pub..... here's the menu, burgers steaks and jackets...." it wouldn't really pique my interest (and I'm the type of guy who likes simple food like that).

I thought the girls did well because they had a good marketing gimmick (the £5 tickets... either you get £5 for free or you get a customer through the door) and really hammered down the costs. Their total costs came to under £200 all-in which I thought was outstanding.

Best comedy moment for me was:
<tipsy lady> So how many inches would massive be?
<Michael> Enough to fill a hole!

The amount of time it took the Bank Manager to work out 15-4=......er....6...11! was quite amusing, too!

In some ways I find watching TA vaguely reassurring, in that I see people on there who have obviously been pretty successful in their 'normal' careers without them necessarily having a great deal in the way of leadership or people skills.
