It is okay to do a reverse Pterodactyl impression in the middle of an interview.

You have top put numbers because some people do multiples in one post.

#28 That being like Lord Sugar can only get you so far in business.

#29 Setting up a business is easy as you will be provided with industrial kitchens, production lines, market stalls, shop units and art galleries at a moment's notice and completely free of charge.

#32 Top Hat Dry Cleaners do not actually sell top hats. In fact they're not generally known for selling anything, mainly it's the cleaning they do. In a dry way.

#32 That "doing the numbers" is not as easy as it seems.

Don't try and sell over priced cheap food as posh nosh at the entrance to a football ground.

Selling artwork featuring "stupid titties and fish" is achievable if you don't draw a breath when making the pitch to a potential buyer.

#42 That there's a seemingly neverending supply of pillocks who watch 16 other pillocks acting like pillocks and think 'They're just like me! I could do that! I'm applying!'

It's useful to be the only member of the team to speak French when in France, as then you can just translate stuff however you feel.

#46 If you lose by hundrends then its probably isn't because you overspent on a poster.

(Stop ignoring the second point in #15 with your numbering!)

#47 That using Bambi and his mum to make overpriced soup isn't nearly as effective as stripping the local bushes of berries to make overpriced jam/jelly.
