Mmmm.....think it needs to be a bit more catchy for branding purposes. Something like "KontainaKid" or "Kid-Gotcha" or "ChildContained"

Looks like an order placed from Stavros with a tv/computer screen and watering device in there. Thanks

In fact, the "add-ons" could be endless......with basic, deluxe and super deluxe versions

Himself suggests "KiddieKube" and feels it should have a round window, a square window, a triangle window...

I thought the guy with the water container was a good idea - however I think if he was a south londoner they would of taken it from him, I thought they tried to show him up because he was so confident.

As for James Caan - the old boy with the golf tee could fund it himself, James was really only interested in the old boys £7 million a year recruitment business that he could buy when the guy looks like retiring.

Well the Managing Director (Bev James) of the thing that he's advertising all over the place is a member of this forum. http://www.mylocalforums.com/general....html#post6798 ..but it's all gone a bit quiet since we asked a few more probing questions...

Agreed - the number of people I've heard say they want one. For the record the cheapest place I've found it, for £3.99 is.. The Famous Sheffield Shop - Aquatina Pocket Bottle

This week the guy had a different take on the old game of Simon for cones - then announces he has had £147k in grants plus £55k from some other muppets

£200k to get to that stage - give me £5k and a week in the garage and I would have done better.

Its definatley getting worse, if this is the cream of European Ingenuity, we are doomed, and our childeren are destined for a life in Chinese call centres...

£200k for flashing traffic cones

How did he get that level of funding? Must be an amazing salesman off camera
