He was saying, and I quote more or less,
"I know the shopping centre like the back of my hand"
and then he goes and puts the shop promotion in the wrong position.
What a plonker. Made for good tv though.

The problem seems to be that you say we have this shop with amazing stuff but you need to go on an sponsored walk to get to it.
What if the promotion site is great for stand-alone stands? He did say that it gets really busy so there would be lots of people passing it. If they had an changing room and an small amount of stock on sale there then the story may have been different. It could be something as simple as splitting between the two sites and they would have won.
Can you imagine him on Donald Trumps list of potential employees
He means well but what makes me laugh is when he bigs himself up and then they state his name on screen with an umemployed label beside it. (no disrespect to the unemployed btw) it just makes me giggle.
A very genuine and decent bloke
Yeh me too. You get what you see with him.
Hmmm, I don't know.
The way he acted coming back from the boardroom in the first week was sooooooo out of character, I think he's a bit of a wannabe. Whenever he speaks it's like he's just trying to fob you off, especially with all this retail guru nonsense. lol
Yeah, he did. He talked a lot of sense for the most part. The promo stand was a bit of a mistake, but knowing how to lay out a shop and having the cop-on to get an ad filmed definitely doesn't qualify as useless.
Either Alex or Stuart should have gone yesterday. If the gorgeous Paloma wasn't so defensive over the last few weeks, she probably would have survived though maybe not against Shibby if she took it to easy.
I get the feeling he's been a manager and works well with people, and the bitching and spitefullness from the other candidates isn't what he's used to.
He seems like a nice, sensible decent bloke. Def would rather work with him than the UGLY manipulative bitch Paloma.
Agreed, and he remained civil in the face of rudeness, dismissiveness and baiting.
2 admitting his error - honest
3 defending himself without getting personal - assertive
4 correct about the shop layout - knowledgeable
He has minus points too but he is employable in some capacity. Depends what you're looking for.
You confuse being an inoffensive human being with being an effective businessman with ideas.
I would be amazed to see him tie his shoelaces together on the first attempt.
It was his idea to do the TV spot, the merchandising was his idea. There have been others throughout the series but I can't remember of the top of my head.
If anything, it was Paloma who was causing the tesnion surrounding him - he seems to get along fine with the others.
Now this confuses me. We live in such a PC age and yet this highly offensive (to me) term seems to escape. Do people simply not realise what it actually means?
Alex to a tee.
As you say, he may have some bad points, but as regards this task he was correct in everything but the promo spot, and even that would have won out if the shop was permanent, as he knew the busiest footfall area.
