Well that remains to be seen. We don't know who out there in the business might be watching - only time will tell.

Duncan has just said what I was thinking. Baby wipes. Almost always have some in the car to clean up after dealing with oily bits.

I still wonder how many business opportunities they let slip when they let emotion get in the way. I assume that this is purely for the cameras.

Or if the dragons indirectly contact them afterwards maybe?

I also understand that even when the "deal is done" there's still a long way to go!

I don't remember hearing how much the eco stuff ( made in China) cost per unit of weight...did anyone else? I'd have thought that rock salt was considerably cheaper.

I can't see the eco stuff being economically viable.

I think she said it was twice the price of rock-salt.

All it will take is one suggestion that it's actually not environmentally friendly and that house of cards will crumble away.

And when she said that a single large airport could use 500 thousand tons of rock salt in a single winter, really? I know they must use a bit, but 500 thousand tons is an incredible amount of material. I wonder if the Dragons are ever allowed to ask for a source for some of the wild claims that get flung around the den. While I can understand it would just get cut in editing, as it would be boring to watch, if I had a Yorkshire pensioner in front of me claiming that rock salt was about to become a thing of the past, I'd be fairly cautious of any claims she was making.

alumnium and salt is bad so a quick google -

mrs doubtfire is talking out her arse.

http://www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/general_a...

''any type of true salt is prohibited for use anywhere on the airfield as it can corrode aluminum (the skin of most aircraft). Airports use a variety of other products to combat ice build-up and ice formation on airport surfaces:

urea is a solid ice metler and often mixed with heated sand
heated sand that meets particulate (grain) size requirements by the FAA
potasium acetate is a liquid anti-icer
sodium formate
glycol
others

if you visit the FAA.gov website and look through the Avisory Circulars (in the 150 series) winter weather and snow removal documents , they list all the "rules" airports must abide by...''


phase 1 - collect urea
phase 2 - sell to airport
phase 3 - priofit
