Private message it to me on this forum.
How do you private message on a forum? I thought private messaging was completely separate to the forums.

Top left, it says Private Messaging. Click that. Then click Send New Message on the left. Then write in my username in the Recipient Username box, and then send me whatever you need to.

Any particular preference of pie? I've been looking up recipes, and I think turkey and ham sounds quite nice, it's quite alternative. (I'm not completely going to copy, I'll obviously make it our own.)

I will leave it to you but i was thinking more along the lines of Chicken only due to the fact that it is more well known. But if you want Turkey and Ham, go for it, i do not mind.

Sorry for how long this is taking, it's a complicated one. I'm nearly finished though.

Okay, I've sent it to you now! I hope it's all all right, let me know if there is anything wrong with it. (Sorry I didn't do the costs, I couldn't work out how to calculate it per person. Numbers are not my strong point, I didn't want to attempt it, get it all wrong and let the team down.)

Okay, well I guess there won't be any more posts on here tonight. I think we did a good job, hopefully we have this task in the bag. Won't be able to do so much tomorrow as I'm working - but I work in a school, so I'll be back around 4pm. Let me know if there is anything else I can do before our pitch tomorrow evening.

Okay Naruto, I've sent you a revised list. I didn't do it from the Tesco website like you said - I wrote out how to get to each item on the ASDA website. Sorry I didn't completely follow what you said - if you still want me to do that I'll do Tesco, I just think that as supermarkets go, ASDA are better than Tesco, although neither of them are great.

Would you mind please sending the tesco links? I am sorry to as, but i have to do costings for Emma and You and it would be easier for me to do the costings with direct links. Sorry to ask.

I've sent the Tesco list over now. I hope that's all good enough.

I think names should say basically what is on the tin (or on the tray in our case). I'm thinking something like 'Mercury's delicious refreshments', with the strapline 'The high-quality, wholesome airline meal' or something of that ilk. I don't think we should have a name that's too cheesy, that might put people off.

Well done everyone on the task win! I think we should say a big thank you to our PM, who I think was fantastic and led us well.

I hope Lord Stuart doesn't mix us up next week, I think our team has gelled really well.

I suppose we can talk on here, until the next task starts?

TEAM MERCURY ALL THE WAY!

Okay, first up I'd like to welcome newbie Eliza and our new team leader Jordan to Team Mercury. I think this task sounds really interesting, and we have more people than Team Sterling, so I think we might be able to win a second task.

I've copied and pasted the task below:

New concepts for television programmes, whether they are good or bad, are being created every day. Daytime television attracts a specific audience, who know what they want to watch. Your task is to create a brand new daytime television show. You must write a report on how you will fill the two hour time slot (11am - 1pm), and what presenters and what type of guests you’d like to have. You can also specify what channel you’d like your show to be broadcast on. Remember, presenters and guests must be realistic. It must be an original idea with a clear target market and must be able to attract a large audience. You will send your reports to Karren and I and we will decide the winning team of the task. The other team will lose and one of you will be fired tomorrow. As ever, you have 24 hours to complete the task. The boardroom will be held at 8pm tomorrow.
