    Rip Off Britain (As Confirmed By Suralan)

    On last night's Apprentice, I think his phrase was "make it for a penny and sell it for a pound". So an insightful confession from the horses mouth; I made my millions by screwing you lot. At £2.50 for a manky lollipop, no wonder.

    I noticed they thrust sweets into the kids' hands - they asked the parents to pay. One protested in was unfair. If they tried that on me, I'd have shoved the sweets where the sun doesn't shine...

      the *treats* they get for winning a task have been seriously downgraded - a trip to the bowler - Hurrah! they squealed - FFS!

      That Brigette Jones one is gonna win - the ruddy faced one.

        I'd like to see Tray tangle with that horrible gobby bird who just escaped last week.

          Why screwed - no-one had to buy what he was offering for sale

            If you know you're being screwed (i.e you're the screwee), you'd probably not part ith your money. However, if you are the screwer, you will almost always know if you're screwing the customer.

              Yeah that was hilarious. A pretty good sales method though.

                So what would you suggest that he operates as a charity and doesn't make a profit?????

                  Making a profit and running an obscene rip-off are surely two different things
