I thought that was blatantly obvious? Why would you try and sell a product in an area that is most likely filled with shops (and was, as we saw) selling the exact same item? Did the Chinese shop owner not make it clear enough when he said "I know how much these cost"?
I'm talking about the arrival at 9am.
Chinatown is predominantly restaurants and the Chinese tend to spend the rest of the night in Casinos once the restaurants close, hence why they would be very few of them around at 9am. Chinatown is only really alive in the evenings.

Obviously I never look at the daily mail website but somehow I appear to have stumbled across this here link which has a number of rather interesting pictures of Louisa Zissman...

Although a DM lin it's almost certainly not safe for most work places!

Like she's going to ever be taken seriously now in business. Maybe in the glamour or porn business. could you imagine Karen Brady behaving like that?

The smaller London shops tend to not open until 11.
China town is open until very late too.

I seem to remember Ms Brady promoting her 'sexyness' when she became some sort of manager at Brum FC...I'm sure there are some 'sultry' shots kicking around the interweb....not that I'm going looking for them....plus I know they weren't as revealing....

I noticed that the job titles of candidates got gradually more vague with each year of the series. When it started out the candidates would be something like "Manager, HR Specialist Firm" or "Director, Food Service Company" but by the last round they were all an indistinct "Idea Generator" or something of the sort.

Mind you, I couldn't stop myself from mentally replacing "Refrigeration Entrepreneur" with "Owns a fridge" every time it appeared on screen.

I still don't fathom how people in recruitment consider themselves entrepreneurial. This program has had a fair amount of them, many just employees of recruitment agencies. Aren't they just like careers teachers in the what the hell do they really know about anything sense?
