The essential problem with this device is that it's designed for idiots who shouldn't be diving.

Was in the paper today that the woman with the Nigerian snacks business ended up pulling out of her deal with Peter. I guess a lot of the deals on screen end up falling through for whatever reason. I'm sure a lot of people will go on it mainly for the publicity.
I also recall the arrogant guy that invented a toy called the bobo buddies pulled out of his deal as he was satisfied that he could do it even though he secured investment. |

Yeah. Nick asked how people would know about the franchise and they said people would search the internet for it. The real answer is they see it on Dragon's Den!
Anyway, wouldn't rich people just buy the next must have handbag anyway rather than have it cleaned? I mean if they're loaded enough to splash out 2k on a handbag, I'm sure they wouldn't go to the hassle of getting it cleaned and refurbished when it goes out of fashion anyway. Also, Sarah looks like the love child of Jane McDonald and Melanie C

Indeed, they didn't give the impression of being short of cash or particularly in need of investment. Nor where they disappointed not to get any. |

I liked the padded clothing - it's really no different than women wearing padded bras and shape enhancing underwear!

Well, I've given him a chance, but after 2 weeks I can unequivocally state that I don't like T S!
The trailer for next week seems to show D M getting a bit arsey with him. Good! |

The box is rather deep to be put into a wall. Cables will have connect into it other than to/from the TV. You have mains, freeview aerial, HDMI in from Cable/Satellite/YouView etc, BluRay player in, Audio out to sound system. Was there to be a 2nd box somewhere so that those thing could be fed in/out and various cable connections made to the 1st box? They could have least had a display set up of a typical installation.
Even after buying the box, the most difficult part of the job is making a bloody great hole in the wall, chasing channels to run mains cables through, and making good afterwards. Rewiring half the house in other words! And with the size of it, that means cutting into brick or breezeblock. Then, there will still cables behind the TV, unless all outlets are in the same spot right over the socket, and connected somehow in a 2" length. I can't see how this allows the TV to be mounted nearer the wall compared with running cables elsewhere to a normal socket. At best, it might hide the mains cable, but how about all other cables? |

I've been changing my mind about the two new guys on the show hate them then love them hate them love them, I guess it's a good thing they have fitted in well.
Sarah gives off a vibe that she isn't no where as big as the other dragons does anyone else feel that? |

Not necessarily , if they like handbag and paid £2k for it, it's not a problem to pay £100 to clean it. They already has sold franchise for £80k, so visibly there's market for it.

If I was a woman, and I'd spent £2000 on a Prada handbag, I'd be sending it back to Prada for cleaning/repair, not to some third party franchise.

I liked the Van Girl but I was surprised none of the dragons commented on the physical restrictions of the job. I¨m a female and I´ve moved a few times in the last five years and I´ve encountered some male removals men who were to put it mildy hard work! So I can see the appeal of giving girls a go ... but usually with a house removal you get three men maybe and I¨ve watched three men struggling with some of our heavier furniture and being totally exhausted after a day long full house move where sometimes you have to hoist things in through windows, up and down stairs etc ... so I can´t see how 3 girls ( however fit they are ) could manage the same .... fair dues to equality etc but physically it must be more difficult with some of the heavier items. Presumably you´d have to book 5 girls to do the job of 3 men which would cost the customer more?

Would you be allowed to advertise the jobs as female applicants only ? I know you can in some occupations but can't see this as being a job you can claim men are unsuitable.
I know the insurance industry got in trouble for offering female only car insurance (Sheila's wheels) and were forced to offer to males as well. Same as female only gyms, has that ever been challenged ? |
