Dragons Den 2016

To whom it may concern,

Yeah, the two Navan guys were chancers alright.
Iv'e a cracking idea. It's to supply the dragons with a fresh change of clothes every week. Absolute fortune to be made. Feckin mingers :pac:

Teachers promoting grinds, are they that crap at their jobs they have to outsource?

Yep, there are some crap teachers out there. But the biggest problem is that there is too much to teach and not enough time. And in my experience, a lot of the kids who choose to get grinds are the ones who do sh1tall in class and then can't figure out why they don't know anything. And then there are the kids who can't get to school because of illness. Teachers can set work for them but they're missing out on a lot if they have to do it all themselves. His idea is not perfect but I can see it being a success. You only have to look at the amount of kids who use revision books to see that people are willing to spend a lot on extra bits for education.

I don't doubt that. If I suggested to my boss I could be replaced by a computer, there'd be talks..

The teacher got 15 minutes of free publicity for his new business venture without having to give away a single percentage of his company to the dragons. I'd call that a result.

Regards etc.

They spend two weeks filming the entire season, then edit them all, so that people who were there days apart all end up in the same show. Dragons have the same costume for each days filming to accommodate this.

Yours Sincerely

Continuity... (am I doing this right?)

Yep, I figured it was a continuity thing. Still, the optics aren't good though. Not 100% but I think DD UK is done with a change of clothes (even if it's on the same day).

No, same clothes there aswell. Often wondered about it when I was watching it...

Willingham was always in that white dress.

Jenkins was always in that brown trousers.

Same, don't know about E2000 for it though considering it costs 550 to make.
It probably wouldn't be within financial reach for a lot of facilities and they'd probably buy essentials like wheelchairs, beds etc.

Has the red haired lady dragon ever even made an offer

If you compare the amount of money these places blow on dodgy foolish decisions it's chicken feed for something that actually works as designed. The margin seems massive but I suppose if you look at potential sales they will be lucky to even do 3 figure sales ever in Ireland.

That as may be, but I'd be sceptical that a care facility/school with all their bills and expenses would prioritise a table ,they probably already have tables that they are making do with, over beds, wheel chairs, walking aids......

She has she invested in that magazine a few weeks ago I think. I'm not sure if she's invested in anything else. Nothing seems to fit her "portfolio".

Which I thought was the worst pitch for the season, I don't think we will actually see this magazine come market

The table is pricey, but I suppose they are trying to build a business and need lots of cash to build it. I like the idea. It would seem like an investment item regardless of cost. Glad they got their Dragon!

Eyepatch

Loved the Dragons' response to the young man with the Kara card. Bless him, he did not allow for anything for himself! Lovely ending to this season's last show!

topmanamillion

I wonder is there anything stopping someone getting a sabre saw and turning in a table into a wheelchair friendly one.
He said about quality timber but it just seems to be very easily replicated and I'd wonder how you can patent a table like that. A small tweek n the design and any manufacturer could get around a patent.
Best of luck to them

None of the dragons mentioned it but all I could think the whole time was don't most people have a handle to flush the toilet? You only really see the buttons in commercial settings.

^^^^^^^^^^

push buttons are on the majority of domestic toilets now
