no idea. i wouldnt buy it. crazy product.

Absurd. Like a fashion item only you (the person shaving) will ever see -- unless you get it on your shirt collar in which case it looks gross.

Catching up on iplayer and feeling slightly nauseous after some dodgy fish and chips.

Estate agents website -- Peter Jones is wrong on the 50 per cent rate but it is an unpromising business model. Silly sod hasn't even put the web address on his prop.

Tea -- sounds promising but surely there are other firms already doing this. Is trilemma really a word? (They chose Kelly over Deborah and Peter.)

Dog collar/lead combo -- what's the point?

Peanut butter -- maybe. The Americans are very fond of the stuff so I suppose the market can grow here.

I`m thinking of going in the den with my latest invention. A digital tv recorder that records programmes you don`t like and plays them back when you are out Crazy

Hair extension hangers -- no idea.

Cider -- they were pretty open about wanting a Dragon rather than the money itself. They got Duncan.

I like the new food and drink den.

Find a food or drink you can ponce up a bit. Find someone to manufacture it and stick a fairly modern label on it.

Go to Dragons Den a few months later and collect tens of thousands of pounds.

There is an element of that, @Crisp77.

The market is there in the sense there are people looking for high quality convenience foods. Whether the supermarket shelf space is there, is another question.

I get the feeling the Dragons may have been burnt in the past -- they now often warn that supermarkets squeeze suppliers' profit margins after an initially attractive deal.

Indeed. Didn't undestand this at all; unless I missed something.

I think they assume with the number of Dragons Den viewers they stick it on a shelf after the show and hope it will sell some good numbers. If it does repeat business great, if not the supermarket just put something else on the shelves and the Dragons have a tax write off.

the dog lead woman was erm barking.

apart from it looking ridiculous, the collar serves several purposes. 1 it lets you put maybe a name/phone number on it if the dog goes awol. 2 it gives the owner a bit of control over the dog. but most importantly, yup this is 3, it gets the dog used to having something round its neck. its bound to be more at ease having a lead attached to a collar that is permanently there, than just having it stuck on when it goes out.

but even beyond all that, how the hell is it easier or quicker?? it takes about half a second to clip a lead on to a collar. was it 90k she said she spent on developing it?? or 60k? summat silly anyway. unbelievable jeff.
