To be fair to Charles, Without Costings you are nothing !!!!
but the twat then spent the best part of a day working them out. Cost of ingredients divided by number of burgers is not a hard calculation unless you are a management consultant used to being paid an hourly rate!
Who the fuck would hire him as a consultant ... can’t imagine he knows enough about anything.

No, he struck me as perfect consultant material. Refusal to take or even acknowledge any sort of direction, very sharp in the sense of casually pingingblame around and made a real show of number crunching. Unfortunately people like him are the future
They have a similar task at the start of every series. Surely somebody should have watched and learned even if the bleeding obvious did not come smoothly. The amazing thing was the project leader, after having time to think about it, thinking that him making a call which was ignored at ten minutes to two to those making the turkey burgers and the Brixton location were the reasons they lost the task. Dinner hours falling between twelve and two seemed irrelevant to him.
Was funny when she said "lets send the fit ladies to sell at CW" and then Karen ripped her
Can only assume she realises she looks like Alan Partridge in fancy dress as an 80s business woman and was trying to get out of going to Canary Warf.
Amongst the many errors made by the blokes was going with such expensive ingredients, no one picked up that by choosing bison at twice the price per kilo of the beef the other team used, and then selling burgers for only a bit more, they ended up drastically cutting their margin. Every year on these tasks the ponces this show attracts decide their Michelin star chefs or whatever the equivalent 'expert' in the field would be for each task. They're selling burgers for one day - who cares if the punters come back for more then next day cos you won't be there to sell them. Get the cheapest ingredients you can legally describes as being chicken or beef or whatever and churn em out for a fiver each. Cooking them on a knockoff George Foreman grill is hardly going to win you an AA rosette anyway. They'd have been better off getting a cheap gas BBQ as at least that way they'd generate some smells and smoke to attract the punters.

stop applying logic and common sense immediately. You're fired!

I have to save I'm relieved - event getting through the first week with that bunch of twunts was a struggle. Sugar can keep his money, it ain't worth the hassle.

the problem is that these people have had any commonsense replaced with ego.

I liked the girls buying natural chicken and was wondering what the unnatural chicken was like!
Or when one of them pointed out that their burgers were full of meat.
Another thing they didn't get called out on - in the board room they claimed they knocked the butcher down from 6 pound something a kilo to 3.60, but the original price was for a different chicken to the one they bought. The one they bought was 4 quid to start with so they only knocked him down 40p.
It'd be like me claiming I knocked a car dealer down thousands of pounds when I went in asking for a Ferrari but came out with a Ford Cortina.
Quote of the episode: "Lord Sugar, I tell you I put my hands in that meat and I mixed it!".
She was creepy that one. The type of girl you say a polite hi to on a bus one day and within a week you come home from work to find she's broken into your house and is wearing your dead cat as a hat.

Hmm she killed the cat or taxidermy?
Whichever you find the most disturbing
I've been thinking of doing a course in taxidermy.
It's okay before the veggie / vegans jump on me back, I'm not gonna be eating the meat

isn't one of them a qualified barrister who earns £175k @ year.....(or so he claims)
a) why is he on the show and b) who the fuck is gonna appoint him after this
Maybe he's a bit like our Daisy. Bored with the law and keen to display his spectacular business skills in another field while getting his grinning mug on TV at the same time.

One of them has a business turning over £3m (or something)!
I think Charles staying shows how this has become a TV show rather than an apprenticeship. £250k is small change to the BBC with the numbers the show draws in.
