I’ve mentioned before how much I love to hate The Apprentice. Last night’s episode was a cracker. Two of the contestants had not a clue as to what the term Kosher actually means – and one of them describes himself as "a good Jewish boy". I swear, you couldn’t make it up. The peak was reached in this exchange between Nick and Margaret (as reported by the great Nancy Banks-Smith):
"I’m a Catholic," whispered Nick to Margaret. "You’re a Protestant. We know what kosher is and Michael doesn’t! He did classics at Edinburgh." "Edinburgh," said Margaret sadly, "isn’t what it was."
Amen, Margaret, Amen.
