The amount of filler in the show must surely be to save chopping out bits when they sell it overseas at 45 - 50 mins per episode.

I reckon she should have pushed for £40k from Deborah and Peter for 20% each. They'd have gone for that imo. Having those two on board would be great. Silly girl

She already had the money offered from elsewhere. This was just for a bit of promotion.

The name's fine (by that, I mean it wouldn't put me off buying the item) IMO but as Piers implied, the product is just L/XL size clothing.
so I dont think they understood the investment opportunity well enough to judge properly. cyclists will buy that stuff because its actually designed to fit them, and because its a quirky brand |

yet as obvious as that sounds,and the Dragons clearly didnt get this, thats not something the existing cycling clothing manufacturers do cater for. FLAB are actually hitting a market that most cycling kit makers (whose sizing is generally influenced by the professional riders and teams they supply and the public side is just an offshoot of that) havent shown any interest in supplying, as else theyd have fixed their sizings to match, whereas most L/XL cycling kit they make is more like an actual M in size.

Those UKick guys claim to have designed the thing themselves but that is actually something that originated from Asia which many kids play.

True, there was never any mention of rights or patent if you can get one on that.
I'm sure I've played with this kind of thing in my youth - not for keepy-uppy, but at the end there was a very brief glimpse of them being thrown into a target on the ground. |

I couldn't believe the cheek of those " inventors" with their kicking game, 4 feathers on a weight, cost 70 pence selling for £7. 99. They must think people are idiots!

Was it retail at £7.99? If so then I don't see the problem.
It's a joke ! I'd have been too embarrassed to take it into the den. At £7.99 ,retail, costing 70 pence to make , it's a robbery. I can't imagine why anyone would be tempted to buy it. |

I thought it was a great idea though, but "ukick" was a poor name. A name related to the feathers and colours would have been better. And mods, Dragons Den isn't a reality show, apart from it having real people in it. Please move the main thread back here. |
