Dragons Den - 4/8/8

What the hell was theo on about with those glasses that lit up with the environmental rubbish? It was a damn good product and I don't see his Maybach bothering him so much about the environment - glad to see Peter could see past the rubbish some of the others were spouting.
I was surprised to see Meaden put up 250k, but predictably enough she gave herself an option to minimise her risk and go half and she jumped at that the minute she heard.

Thought the environmentally friendly PC went down well 
Peter Jones' final comments cracked me up. Harsh but fair. 
Peter doing the pitch: Thankyou Duncan
Duncan: No not you, Peter Jones, Im out!
What a c0ckend that bloke was.
being serisous(ish) for a moment.. i am so pleased they kicked that computer man. thia 'faux' 'environmentality' is what's ruining everything.
i am a semi-post-materialist in that i like to by the (genuinely) best quality i can afford so that i don't have to waste resources replacing it (hence why i hate the Prious types (who think a new prius is better than keeping an old car going)and H&M customers (for throwaway fashion) so much).
people like this chap repackaged tat, making out it's something it isn't, and then trying to con people into replacing what they have... well they're arses.

I suspect that a lot of people - the glasses, and particularly the Shoe Business - are only on there for the publicity. My wife has a very similar business to the shoes. The advice though was spot on. Inventory control is a nightmare.
The solution to the petrol thing is MEMS which can detect smell. Having petrol pumps that take a good sniff at what is in the tank before starting to fill.

I thought the champagne flutes were genius and a great gimmick for parties they'll sell millions IMO.
I loved watching the IT geek get torn to shreds by them all with his brand thats worth £5million.
I have also had to spend an hour this morning before I set off for work explaining to the OH why I won't invest in a shoe franchise, the main reason being she would take all the stock and I would sell nothing
