Nope. NFC is simply peer-to-peer radio communications, passing data from one device to another.
I agree with Peter.. it's already "old" tech. |

So he wants to start a brand new theme adventure.. wants the Dragons to promote it.. whilst he continues to happily run his existing business without them having a share. Lovely! |

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
He has to go home and run it past the wife!!!! LOL If it's not unfair Peter why are you asking for the full business. That was what the others were complaining about!! Makes sense that Peter wants it.. he's possibly going to roll it into Red Letter Days. |

Wow. What on earth was that all about. How did he get this far in the process if he can't even make a decision at the end of the pitch?

Yet another that isn't actually interested in getting any offers, just in promoting the existing business on TV. A free TV advert.

Looks that way. It seemed a bit silly not to accept, he could always find a get out later if necessary. And if the wife were so crucial to the business and decision making why wasn't she there? He claimed she was at home not at work or looking after kids etc so seems strange she hadn't come with him, just for a day out if nothing else. Sounded like a lame excuse to turn down the offer ...

Being pedantic, Peter Jones wasn't the founder of Red Letter Days, it was started by original Dragon Rachel Elnaugh, and was bought out of administration by Jones and Theo Paphitis when it collapsed.

We haven't laughed so much for years at this chap. In he came all bluster about being ex-forces and roughy toughy, then when it came to the crunch he had got to talk to the wife.
It did sound like he was mostly after publicity for his existing business. Having the new business given a higher profile through the efforts of a dragon wouldn't hurt the old one either! |

I don't get it!
The Apprentice : Contestant develops an idea for a dating app and it is claimed £250,000 won't be enough to get it off the ground Dragons Den : Contestant pitches a dating app idea and reckons they can do it for £75,000, the Dragons agree! If the idea was such a good one, the big players such as Tinder and Match would have had it developed months ago! |

I didn't like the life-saving wristband for the simple fact that any t**ser could tap his phone against it and at least know your name and age. At least with a paper capsule version it is private.
I do sometimes think that this is just Dot Com farce. Back then many just set up websites for the sake of it and thought they were then worth millions, now it seems that smart phones are being used to do simple things that just don't need all that technology. But some whiz-kid is just looking for an easy "Everything is better doing it on a smartphone", to write a quick app and they think they will make millions from it. The trouble is that as they are mostly young they have no filter and no one to say "Look! It's doesn't need to be on a smartphone and it does not improve what is already out there already.". |

I think for some people it's probably a good idea, but my immediate thought was similar to Sarah's - some friends could fall out if they were interested in the same man or woman. |

He could have agreed to the deal then pulled out later if his wife objected. Apparently half the deals fall through afterwards anyway.

That will never happen. No one agrees to 50/50 who is serious.

I'm surprised Touker doesn't demand 100% of the business.
