- watched Dragons Den saw that a hair brush called is a major success, cos they hyped it up and sell it for £10 ..after 30 mins I thought well the way it works is it short bristles like ...hang on ..it's exactly the same as a dog grooming thing I have seen years ago which of course will be 50p not £10 ..sure enough someone else had realised and put a video on Youtube .. ah its £0.86 here ..or maybe it will be superced by the Mikki Rubber Grooming Glove on the same page

seems contestants lie in the same way that people lie on their CV

- Ah I see this device is basically a caller ID thing, but you program your friends numbers in. You have to program your phonebook numbers in and a have caller ID service, so when someone calls you the Truecall detects that number and if it is a new number it hangs up or puts it to voicemail.
... what about when someone calls you in an emergency ?? ..the police .. your wife from a phonebox ?

Some of the other devices noticibly £50 instead of £100 just ask the caller to press a number and if they don't it cuts them off hence it cuts off automated callers.

.. simple switchboard phones already have this also your phone company have schemes to block numbers with schemes like "Choose to Refuse" and of course you can do it via program running on your computer for free.

- It seems it's normal on Dragon's Den for people to use an idea that is quite useful ,but not amazingly unique and then hype it up and sell it for an outrageous price ... wait until the public find they can get 80% cheaper somewhere else

- The top winner in Dragons Den is the rapstarp..now years later it turns out he was tricky ..as he'd already patented the idea 10 years earlier, but sold that company... There was a court judgement saying this, but so far his old company have not sued him, but they put the details on their website Millipede ... Patent blogger

- Are all the inventors charlatans ? ..no sometimes it's the dragon. The Scunthorpe woman who won with the magnetic cable guide .. She never received the investment promised £80,000 investment for 22.5%. Instead James Caan gave her a contract where they got the 22.5% for £29 She signed the contract, but no money showed up .. At her wits end she managed to get a lawyer who got her out of the contract and turned the company around. The story

- The Daily Mail made a connection between her starting ... to sue Caan and him leaving the programme.

- Tube drivers have got a deal which first puts their salary up to £42K for 35 hour week, but is then locked into be a few points above inflation so will get them £50K per year. OK it is a responsible job, but others are harder surely. Seems to me that by striking they have successfully held Transport For London to ransom.

- What kind of idiots would agree to such a deal ..unless they know like other countries have already done (Lille etc.) you can replace tube drivers with computers..and there won't be much support for rendancy payments cos they have got themselves a "greedy bully" reputation...maybe .
