Does he by any chance advise them on how to sell cheap and questionable policies to the general public?

Well, I'm half joking really...

Fashion

God nose.......what does Sir Alan even sell?
He don't have Amstrad anymore does he?

I had one of his PCW 9512s once, but only because my mum won it on Catchword on the TV circa 1989. Flipping noisy pre-286 thing, contemporary of the Spectrum QL I think. I even managed to buy a game for it, but nearly died of boredom playing it on the green screen.

I'd love to know also how they work out he is worth £800m.

He is the chief adviser on facial hair.

I think he is more involved in property now than electrical tat.

Seriously, it was Sir Alan that came up with the whole "McDonalds degree" thing.

I rest my case!

He has a large property portfolio is London. If the property downturn hits London, by this time next year he could be worth £8

We have government by impression of activity. Meeting with SAS and setting up some working group for SAS to sit on makes the great leader look like he is doing something.

Maybe he advises them on firing errant ministers?

After all, old Gordon doesnt seem to be very good at that!

You're fired!

In which case maybe he will be one of next year's apprentices!

Good idea bankgal! Let's all go and Google something. All I was after was a little witty banter, but it has turned into a boring thread, hasn't it?

I tried that - and all I got for sharing something I found interesting was sarcasm!

Given his pathetic decision in tonight's show - I hope he's not still advising them!

Maybe he's advising with regard to the property markets and trying to maintain his portfolio!!
