Seems like they've taken the word dragon a bit too literally. And believe me this is a flattering picture!

That ridiculous advert the BBC are currently running really does her no favours, face like a bulldog licking p*ss off a nettle and comically oversized shoulder pads is not a good look. All she's missing is a panther de ville and 101 dalmations hehe

Dragon indeed. Seriously scary. Looks like she has had about 80 face lifts too many, and completely agree with about that advert, wtf was with those American Football style shoulder pads?!

A free five minute advert on the BBC for your product or service follow by some personal attacks by a bunch of rich people.

This has definitely run it's course.

Glad to see James 'I wont support a business that has anything to do with alcohol' Caan has moved on. Thought he was OK until he came away with that crap.

If he’d refused to invest because it wasn’t a good business idea, that makes sense but to refuse to even look at the business based on a blinkered religious belief, IMHO, then I’d rather not watch him.…but I’m sure that won’t worry him.

Hilary Devey - She was on Secret Millionaire a while back and The Business Inspector last year. She looks like a dragon but she seems to have decent business sense. I'm looking forward to her dragoning.

Well, there are many valid reasons for not drinking or promoting alcohol - just because something could make money doesnt mean you have to do it.

What do you expect him to do, seriously? Put money before morals? You may not agree with it, but for some people that is their way of life. Would you expect a Jewish businessman to invest in Pork Farms?

I expect him to do what he wants and he has every right to do so, it doesnt mean I have to agree with his views.

Fair enough point.
