Rather a hard job this time. Only £8 difference. They lost £150 on not bringing the items. So was it that they overpaid or that the other team underpaid. We dont know the expected price, so we will never know.
I would have thought that ice could be obtained at a fishmonger or at least a fish or meat market or a dairy.
Who wears a top hat or uses it. Surely there are quite a few hat shops and one could shop around on the phone. I notice gavin thinks helen will win, once they are fired do you think they still know who the last two are.
The same with most items. Almost all are regular ones. Gavin says he didnt know that London had so many yellow pages when Liverpool has only one. All you need is the central London one. Why run round London if you can get it there. I dont think the phone calls are restricted so give each member of your team an item and tell them to phone all the stores that sell it. At least find out the price in advance. What where they doing for three hours? Again the girls cant negotiate. I am sure she could have got more than one penny off. Imagine the rules would be one pound what would she have done.
A mistake they all make is speaking to the shop assistant one goes to the manager. Jim was marvellous even LS in his tweets thought so. I cant see him losing.
Of all the shopping tasks in the series I count this the worst that I have seen. None of Gavins team come out with any credit.
I dont agree with LS. One can ask a competitor for certain things. Its not like asking who your customers are or the main source of your goods. I would phone ten hotels and ask each one item. Most would oblige.
