Sorry but this is a blatent lie as you can clearly see when the camera is head on to Sugar, Margaret and Nick that Sir Alans chair is jacked up! Maybe not a booster but its on a plinth or higher setting for sure to make him look dominent.

As anyone old enough to have actually set foot inside an office has long realised, the story about a plinth or booster is entirely spurious.

Office chairs have mechanisms to alter the seat height so that anyone can work at a standard height desk comfortably.

It's such a complete non story which, if reported honestly whould read: "Alan Sugar adjusts his chair to a comfortable height".

I reckon he has dropped Nick and Margerets chair settings down and broken off the levers then!

It would be funny if his chair were actually the same size as N & M's but because it's at the top of its adjustment it looks bigger.

It's not the supersize of his chair,
it is optical foreshortening and space-warping.

He has a very valid point that the real place to determine his height is standing next to Nick and Margaret although the counter to that would be to say that the candidates aren't supposed to be sh1tting themselves when he SETS the task, only when the results are announced and somebody/people are getting fired.

He looks a similar height to Nick & Margaret when he stands beside them at the begining of each task

Might be camera angels but I for one dont think height matters it is personality, gaining respect and authority that counts

Who cares about the size of his chair? It's his bank account that's more appealing.
