Dragons den who watched it

[lowcalCOD]

I lOVE d it!!!

It was good but I was shocked at how some of them seemed so poorly prepared or very nervous when this was their one opportunity to get financial support and exposure.

Shame about the guys with the gadget for the buggy. Couldn't really see anyone paying over £100 for it though - perhaps £50 - unless the parents were so desperate for sleep. Good idea but poorly presented and financial projections were way off.

The Underground Vending Machines will make a packet with so much room for expansion (Tram networks, light railway stations etc) - good luck to him.

it was great wasn't it - those two girls with their fashion shop - rubbish.
Agree that the umbrella business was a great idea

yes I htink they shoudle put advertising ON the brollies - make them collectables too

cant find a bbc site to say who lthe blokes were
like d the shitty scot in a sad kind of way!!

the guy with odd facial hair is the founder of Yo Sushi I think

and the dishy reather masterfuil aggressive scot?

don't know but I quite liked him too. all the power and money {sigh}

not sure about 'blow' the UKs first blow dry salons!

swoon
find a web site

This is all I could find. Not sure which one he was?
"The Dragons are: Simon Woodroffe, the man behind Yo! Sushi and
whose brand includes clothing,Yo! Japan, Publishing Yo! and YOTEL!;
Rachel Elnaugh, an ex-accountant and creator of Red Letter Days, now estimated to be worth around £25m; Duncan Bannatyne OBE, a former ice cream van owner who now owns a chain of health clubs and who is estimated to be worth around £130m; Peter Jones, who set up the Phones International Group and is now worth more than £300m; and Doug Richard, who sold his first software company for over $14m and is now the owner of Library House."

goddawful photo but intersting story

god, I wish I was entrepreneurial

well I woudlnt have backed the suits lady - wodul ratehr spenf £600 on a designeer suit meself

me either - they were a tad frumpy for my liking. BUT didn't like the comment from Peter re her ability to run a business after having a baby.

ooooooooh yes

I did feel that the woman put money into the suits thing because she felt sorry for her after the Peter Jones comment though so it might have worked in her favour.
Her concept wasn't bad but I agree, if I was going to spend that kind of money on a suit I'd want a nice one.
Do quite fancy the scottish bloke - I think it's the accent and the brusque manner is quite sexy.

It is funny. I didn't catch her full name, but she looked strangely familiar (I used to work in retailing). Good idea in principle but I remained unconvinced that she could make it work. Missed the first half , what else did they back ?

we are all sad women arent we
we all love a bastard!

raar!

ooo, he's all masterful.

I missed it last night, did they give anyone any money then?

yes lok ont he site
it tells you the winners

link to "grails" doesn't work - that isn't a very good sign,is it ?

Got the link to work. Interesting as Rachel Elnaugh is quoted anong the customers. I wonder how long ago the show was recorded.

I could get it to work, quite a nice site

don't think they backed anything else.

re Grails - I sort of fit their demographic but would NEVER spend that kind of money on a suit so I think its a niche within a niche they're targeting.

Beanock - hit or miss ? Think the concept has potential but way too expensive for her niche target market. Also not sure she had enough conatcts to get it into serious production and retailed let alone source a manufacturer in the Far East.

Interesting the price points seem to have come down somewhat ! here
