    Indeed. She looks like filthy fun too, not so keen on the thigh tattoo though. Reminds me of Cheryl Cole's rose garden, OTT. Seems they have to include a 'typical northerner' on the show each year.

    Maybe he didn't trust himself in light of all the recent women me too allegations, so best to keep temptation away and risk getting caught with his hand in the sweet jar instead.
    Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

        I was wondering how they could question her dedication, having so many other businesses on the go, when Al is just the same, not exactly going to be giving it his undivided attention.

        Surely he would recognise proper leaders of successful businesses delegate and don't need to be 100% committed once it's up and running.

          He believes he is the only one and everyone runs round after him.

          Remember that film of Amstrad in the 1970s where he sits in a desk and everyone is in a circle round him?

          Of course, it made him a successful businessman. Oh wait. He made a few quid, rode the property wave then confused a rising market with genius.

          In a parallel universe, could have been any of us.....

            You need to do a proper data protection letter to them. Though I would wait until the end of May after the GDPR come in then you can send them a recorded delivery letter, record all their subsequent phone calls/keep their emails, and take them to court for harassment and damages.

              As Sarah Beeny often said on her property do-em-up-and-flog-em programme, "if you'd just bought the place and sat on it, instead of doing it up, you'd still have made almost as much profit due to the rising market".

              They edited out the bit where she added "Yet not wasted 6 months of your life renovating it in the process."

                  Well you aren't fussy - though you did allow your "son" to marry Fergie.

                    They did finally stop after a very stroppy email threatening further action. Actually they stopped for 6 months and then I had to send another. Nothing since fortunately.

                      I also didn’t understand the logic either. So she’s got over half a dozen businesses already and from what I gathered they were all successful. So what made him think she couldn’t run another one?
