Window cleaning would have been a good bet I'd have thought (homes and shop fronts) as would busking...

Cleaning cars was my brainchild... You would have had to buy buckets, sponges, chamois leathers and some soap based product... Oh and a gag for the lippy lispy bird who also needs a good slap...
If from 10,000 applicants these are the best business brains in the UK, I fail to understand how I am not a billionaire with billions of pounds and that innit?

because the best business brains in Britain dont want to be an empolyee on a 1st year salary of £100k FALLING to more realistic levels after that for a bloke who made his money from luck and timing then property while Apple, Dell, etc showed how it should be.

As AS said last week "if i invented the ipod i wouldnt be sat here"......very true!

Loved the fact that the one booted out last night was due to her lack of awareness on "location"

One thing she definitely knows the location of is her nearest cake shop.

It was a dull task! I was cleaning cars in primary schools' summer holiday with a 'borrowed' supermarket trolley and my mum's washing up liquid! You need an MBA for that kind of lateral thinking, pragmatic genius [not!]. I'm not really surprised they couldnt get too fired up about the task - most peoples ambitions are higher than schoolkid entrepreneurship? Plus you cant even feed 6 people from the pennies they made! Still I suppose it was valid way to weed the weakest out [dohh - the kids are at school all day - stupid!!!]

So far there's not one I'd employ on £25k, never mind £100k. I'm rubbish, but I'm better than that bunch of idiots. Gardening? For a one day business? Really?

Abdabz is quite correct, car washing is a good 'un. Find an office with a decent priced car park, £3 a go. Bosh.

The trouble is there egos are all much bigger than there abilties.
Obviously, anyone with real ability wouldnt need or want to go on national television to arselick "sir" alan sugar and feed his superiority complex.
Never mind, naomi's got a great ****!

...do you read the Evening Standard by any chance?


I think that one or two of the girls could have made an awful lot more money last night...

...ring, ring....ring, ring....

...News of the World Editorial...

...what's that, Naomi who? Topless?! Snogging who? Oh, an Indian girl !

...I see, an exclusive coffee and cream moment, ten photos at five grand each?!

No way - we'll happily pay ten! That will sort the boys team out

Thanks for calling the NOTW - have a great day...

...click...brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

For those of you that don't listen to radio 5, the car wash idea was out. What we don't see is that there are rules for each task. A car wash required a constant supply of water. They couldn't get that, so car washing was out.

Makes a mockery of the show, IMHO.

Err, as a 10 yr old I took my OWN water in my supermarket trolley and topped it back up wherever possible [garage/river/favour from a wino - INITIATIVE!]. Do I still qualify for a £100k job with a grumpy old s0d selling cr@p products
