It seems that with every week of the apprentice that goes by, the person who gets sacked goes out of their way to look double stupid. If its not Lindy offering “Personal Service” and an “Exclusive” deal, Simon “all the gear no idea” or “I can’t say loser but I am one” Ian then little Matt Lucas this week went the extra mile.
Mr I’m good at sales (preaching) who is so successful he has two houses and a Porsche at 25, which if it is the case then hats off to him. However I would have to think that his previous employers paid him to shut him up. His monotone delivery of the most simple sentences made me want to chuck the TV out the window! I almost did when he laboriously listed the ingredients for a possible soup. His Café Latte desert would have lit the menu up too had the chef not intervened. It’s also people like Kevin “oi’ve eatennn in ittalian restaurants and don’t have a clue” Shaw that epitomise the banking system today. In a world where computers run things, all you need is blonde Matt Lucas look-a-like to tell you in an extended 20 minute summary, that “computerrrr says no” or “computerrr says yes” this became double evident because each week he’s had to think for himself and its gone wrong, horribly wrong.
I also think that this is the problem with the current crop of apprentices and possibly working life today, learn to use the systems in place and things will fly for you. However the minute you take these people out of their 50 60k ‘operative’ positions you can see why Sir Alan wouldn’t hire them at 10k a year. They lack the invention and creativity needed to run a business. As always complling viewing and cant wait for next week!
