Didn't look like the usual "losers' cafe" last night. Was it and, if not, why not? Has someone complained about bad publicity? Or are other cafes wanting to get in on the act? I wonder...

I think it was the same cafe but perhaps under new management and with a new name? It was 'the Cabina' or something?

I've seen several different cafes being used throughout the seven series.

I'm not sure how much of a marketing tool the Apprentice would be for the cafes. They're always portrayed pretty bleakly and made to look like complete hell-holes.

You'd have to firmly believe that all advertising is good advertising to portray your business in such a light.

It's only a metaphor. It doesn't even have to be a real caff. Expect a park bench, a Thermos and a packet of crisps one day. Or a skip.

Well you never know what with the current budget cuts. It would incredibly amusing to see the losing team huddled around an umbrella on a wet and cold day tucking into pukka pies or something.

I must be very unobservant as I can only recall seeing the Bridge Cafe in previous episodes. I had no idea they used several cafes.

I think it depends where they are sometimes.

The Bridge Cafe is used a lot because it's round the corner from the studio where the boardroom scenes are filmed. (I've driven past it many times).

The Bridge Cafe has only been used in 3 of the 7 series, apparently
