Owens88 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 This program exceeded expectations. I thought Simon Cowell was bad, I have winced at the self aggrandising statements by would-be Apprentices but the 'Dragons' in these rooms must qualify for Oscars in self confidence (or being up themselves). 'if somebody pays more than me they have got it wrong' says the guy who paid 5 times more than anybody else offered for a chunk of Concorde metal.'I am a straight talker' says the guy who leans forward with full dramatic intent and intones 'final offer...£240,000' pauses for thirty seconds then says 'squeeze me' (which I and the vendors interpreted as 'come back with a counter offer).On balance I have more respect for orange-skin auction room guy. At least he doesn't take himself so seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
