What are they doing this week?
I've forgotten.

True. Also, in this task it was won on the number of orders, not the overall profit so something small, easy to sell lots of and preferably useful on it's own but better if you buy two of them would be the best bet.

Making natural soap!
Oh yeaaaaaah! I remember now. Inventing their own soap flavours.
A bit like when they made their own ice creams.
Or, probably nothing like that actually.
Yep, and when they did perfume!
should be easy enough. Think up a nice name for it, base it on stuff people already like and for heaven's sake, stop letting pillocks do your sales pitch.
I'd use honey... and call it Bee U.

I'd call it 'Oui! Oui!' and decant my own urine.
Yikes! That's my second reference to urine today - what have I done with my life?
WTF?
He is clearly just making his decisions based on ratings now. Is just silly.
Well she took complete charge of the group and then totally flubbed the budgeting.
But the other two are SUCH MASSIVE CUNTS.

Yep agreed. Ben should go! As if he'd EVER hire Ben.
