You're hired

After 11 weeks of tasks, tears and tantrums, Alan Sugar finally settled upon his new apprentice - who turned out to be a bloke who doesn't shave and who has invented both a chair and a nail file - hugely optimistic ventures given that these items had previously been invented. Lord S handed over a quarter of mill to Tom and they will now go into business together.  Given that as he is pitching in with a quite sizable amount of his time and money I was a little surprised that he couldn't be bothered to actually interview the candidates himself, instead leaving it down to a bunch men in bad suits and a woman in a tie dyed blouse.
