Maybe it was a scientific calculator.
Hahahahah. Jade and Nick unable to use a calculator
I was more gobsmacked when the idiot woman in the back of the car shouted that the massage company that she had just spoken to on the other end of the phone was a whorehouse. I remember the name of the company as stated by the woman who answered the phone. I haven’t watched this series so I don’t know the idiot’s name, but she is the project manager of the team.

Or spelling either.
That was hilarious. "Is this calculator a bit funny?"
"Er yes."
"Yes, [turns to potential business partner] this calculator is a bit strange."
"Er yes."

Hence why I don't want Jade, Nick or Adam to win - they're all incompetant 
nick was probably typing in 5138008 which if you turn upside down a calculator spell boobies
also cant believe jade said that thai massage thing was a whorehouse then cackled after she said it, imagine if NH was in the car dont think he would be amused

Especially since we clearly heard the name of the business shortly before she said it. If I was their owner I would not be amused - unless of course it is a brothel and they are suddenly getting a lot more business

The lawyers will have cleared it for broadcast. Maybe the version we saw didn't use the real name of the whorehouse. But it sounded like the person on the other end said something like "no, they don't do that" which implied that "they" weren't the kind of people you can negotiate with.

Ridiculous attitude from that guy!
I wish to see the evidence m'lud. I cannot believe that anyone could be that crass. What weirdo alien futuristic mad piece of technological numeric electronics were they given?
i didn't like Jade's style of management - it was clear she wanted to be the centre of attention - Nick would have done just as good a job of the pitches, but it was me, me, me and then a few more me's after that
I have the same calculator - you have to press the "S=>D" button when the result is on-screen, otherwise it's given in fractions...

Why? he's a professional who had given them his valuable time and they were amateurish and were lucky he didn't chuck them out. He must be another mate of Sugar and Bradys.

Makes sense.

How were Nick and Jade to know what deal he would offer, what price he would offer, what discount he would offer, and how many deals would be offered for each separate deal, and how many different deals overall he would offer? The 'professional' acted like they had lacked preparation coming into his meeting. All these details obviously had to be worked out on the go as negotiations evolved. OK, so they had a few problems with a scientific calculator. Kill 'em for that.
I'm sure the most efficient use of his 'valuable time' that day was appearing on a high rating primetime BBC program which would generate a large amount of interest/publicity for him.
Really, rude ******* like him should be called out on their behaviour.

My jaw dropped at that. She would never said it if it was named British Steam and Massage. Of course, whenever Thai is mentioned, most British people usually think one of these four: Green Curry, Bride, Ladyboy or Prostitute.

I do like your loathing of Jade- it mirrors my own. A clueless, obfuscatory, foghorn-voiced narcissist is my take on her. No idea how she got this far.
