Last night the newest series of The Apprentice kicked off and though Sir Alan praises them as his best candidates yet, I thought they were all a bunch of bumbling idiots.

In the end the girls lost the cleaning challenge and Anita Shah got fired but I would have much preferred to see Mona Lewis go.

Mona proposed herself as team leader for the task but failed to actually direct or lead. She decided that £300 was an acceptable quote for cleaning three cars, and when her customer told her that he normally pays in the region of £60, she more or less called him a liar. In the clip above you see Mona giving another quote for a job which requires the cleaning of two vans and a car. She quotes £10 per car and £15 per van and rounds that up to an even £50. When her potential customer points out that it should actually be £40, she looks disappointed and says “so you can count.” Mona already strikes me as a duplicitous sales woman with no respect for her customer base. She’ll never get far in business with that attitude!
