I've warmed to Sir Alan very much. What a warm-hearted thing to say.

And who are you?

sounds like a job offer to me!

Nice touch by SAS and Karen can now give her a job

He says something similar about the runner up every year.
After all don't both finalists work for one of his companies for 6 months following the penultimate decision?

I didn't realise it's something Sir Alan says every year?

I thought it was a nice thing to say considering.

Oh well.. btw, who do I think I am CXC3000? Sorry I should have said, the title is a quote from Sir Alan on the 'why SAS hired his apprentice'.

Thanks, Siannah (thought you were SAS himself there for a minute)

I can just imagine Claire ringing up Sir Al to ask him about hair colourant or something.

Claire came across really well last night. She reminds me of my missus. Gutsy, yet dignified.

So will Claire be accepting the council job, which was offered to the runner up i wonder?

It was a nice touch and I don't think SAS says things lightly either. I am sure he will be happy to advice her on work issues is she needs it. Claire was a lovely runner upper and acted with dignity and wasn't afraid to show her emptions. She has come on a long journey in the apprentice. Still think Lee pips her at the post so right decision
