One less ferry company to worry about

Not relevant.

British government contracts are also awarded to French companies. Maybe they’re just better at making/building stuff and tendering for contracts.

What you would need to show (as it was you that made the claim) is evidence where French contracts have been awarded to French companies where there were other bidders that were clearly better.

I don't need to show anything I know I have been involved in deliberately non-bidding for a French Government contract which was always going to be awarded to Thales. I could elaborate more but then I'd have to kill you and eat you, but I'm trying to watch my calorie intake.

We try to play cricket whilst the rest of Europe plays rounders.

France got a silver medal for cricket in the Olympics the only time it was played.

France got a silver medal for cricket in the Olympics the only time it was played.

And who beat them to the Gold medal...We did...well the Devon and Somerset Wanders did.

Only two teams in the competition and the French came last.

Actually the French team was largely made up of British expats.

Well whilst Grayling may or may not be a muppet.

This article just demonstrates how things work in big business -

Tendered for a contract and did not get it - try and make out something somewhere was unfair and try and sue someone.

But this really confuses me.

"The latest legal action from Bechtel will come as an added blow to transport secretary Chris Grayling, who is fighting off calls to resign after agreeing a £33m settlement with Eurotunnel over his decision to award three suppliers with contracts to provide extra ferries in a no-deal Brexit."

Why did we pay someone money because we bought more boats (or didn't depending on what you read)?

Since when was the Eurotunnel a protected monopoly for crossing the channel?

You really don't know how businesses run do you, and specifically how government and public sector contracts are tendered and awarded? Do you have experience of anything?

Grayling: the gift that keeps on giving.

Never mind how much Brexit is costing, how much has Grayling alone cost the country?

Here we go.

You gotta love it when Alan "Warty" Sugar gets on his high horse about "running a business", as if he has ever been anything more than a glorified char wallah.

I think you'll find it takes more than wandering around the lobby of a FTSE 100 company rearranging the brochures in the Visitor Waiting Area and topping up the bog rolls whilst dressed like an unemployed scarecrow to grasp the essentials of serious business operations.

As if anyone is going to entrust any meaningful contribution to their business's welfare to a witless prattler like you, wobbling around sweating and belching with all the style and deportment of a backward baboon, but with considerably less gravitas.



Stick to regaling us with your nonsense about hunting killer lemurs and angry zebras, at least that delusion fits a grunting bumpkin like you a whole lot better.

Well done. Only took you 7 weeks to come back with some shyte response

You wouldn't last 5 minutes in the work I do, but it's nice to see some delusional drivel from such a 'successful' contractor who still needs to work in their 60s

It must be so upsetting seeing us younger, more accomplished professionals when you're such a loser; is this why you have to attack with anger online? Does it make you feel better being the big man behind a keyboard, because you're a nothing in real life
