Would you seriously employ any of them?????

Apart from him being a muppet, I cringed as Andy begged for AMS to reconsider "I want to be your apprentice" he begged and promised 110% - how can you give more than 100% anyway?

Unfortunately, I earmarked another 4 who will be getting a cab in the near future, it's a shame you can't do a bulk deal, but that's reality TV.

I'm surprised that no one dared to tell AMS that saying "you was" is dreadful grammar, 2nd person singular mixed with 3rd person is awful, personally, anyone who came to me asking for 100K p.a. and couldn't even master the most basic verb declension would be shot!!

Jazz is right, the sad truth is that probably 75% of the 'business population' have this weird belief that they are the bees knees, top flyers .. but it is all really hype, nonsense and BS .. where did they get this idea .. I work in this environment for my sins, and life has been a dream since I have not had to bump into these fools daily (SOHO worker me). The good guys are quashed by egocentric bullies .. oops, back to the point, yes totally, great to see a 'sample' of these people humiliated by Alan, maybe things will start to change? .. mm, pigs you say?, up there?

ed , plaistow,

I think Andy Jackson should have been fired. He wa a weak manager and he seemed too much of a nice guy to handle the strong women. Well, what happened to Sophie buying 200 litres (or was it 20 litres) of milk? Some duff calculations here. There has got to be a margin of error. It is not just about mathematical ability or science knowledge (ie milk 'expands' when it froths she explains to Sir Alan), it is about business. One much anticipate how many cups of coffee they are going to sell, then buy about 6-7% more litres of milk than needed just in case you sell extra coffee but do not overestimate too much (common sense) otherwise it becomes waste! Also, one must check out the competition. If there are cafes selling coffee for 80p-90p, why sell yours for 1.50? Honestly, Andy look out of his depth, clueless and hopeless. He inflated his ego in order for him to rise to the challenge but it did not work. He needs to go back to what he knows best - selling second hand cars.

Really and truly, this is not the sort of tv I like, wifebeaters wives, desperate eastenders, and of course a slice of corrie-street for good measure! but out of all the people involve, sugar gets my vote, an up-front londener, who runs half the city, truly an icon, a must have for the mantle-piece, your hired your fired, tish-tosh-teesh I say, really and truly!

Having to work with these pretentious "Work hard, play hard" types is infuriating. So seeing them suffering on national TV is great fun!

Jazz, Berkshire,

It was obvious from the moment this guy opened his mouth, that he was going to fail. If this is what it takes to be a car sales manager, it doesn't take much. The guys couldn't believe their luck when like a puffed up peacock he put himself forward and then went into a corner to try and squirm his way out of it. The other guys knew he was pathetic the moment he started to talk, how anyone at his previous job took this guy seriously, is beyond me. Oh and the scientist can't calculate for toffee, but at least she looked like there might be one or two brain cells lurking there somewhere, but whether they're any good for the business world is yet to be seen.

polly, Middlesbrough,

You have to hope that this show is meant to be ironic. However, I feel it shows the abyss into which society as fallen as these unpleasant, worthless people show no more shame about their personalities than would a hoody that has mugged an old lady.

"A tubby car sales manager" ... "the marketing consultant" ... "the car salesman"

Wait a minute - didn't you last week print a quote from Sir Alan about how he didn't want any more salesmen after last year? And that he was personally supervising the selection process to make sure there weren't any?
