"Alan Sugar sets the hopefuls their penultimate challenge, which is to select products to sell at Womad, the world music festival, attended by almost 40,000 fans. One trio believe they will clean up with a pedal-powered washing machine, while the other three are sure there is nothing the festival-goers will want more than a portable toilet."

8pm tonight. May just watch this to see if I can pick out any familiar faces in the background

I saw Nick Hewer there being filmed as I walked past, so will try and spot myself .... and Scott (the efests editor) had a couple of the kids try and sell him their wares, which was filmed, so that might be on TV too.

Thanks.

Oxfam still need stewards for the festival.

Go on give it a try

Hope it's ok to promo Oxfam in this way but they could well do with some volunteers and the amount they get for your work goes to good causes obviously.

PS, if you've never done it before and worried about going alone, please don't be. Can always message me if need to hook up with somebody.

Thanks, Chas, that's the kind of list I was looking for for. :-)

Yes, hello 5co77ie, I am planning WOMAD, but struggling a bit with the technicalities at the mo, as it will just be me & the nipper this year. (Carrying tent & all from train. plus I really wanted to see RT, but he is playing on Thursday... although I might be able to make that, as he isn't on until 21.00, according to this link.) Sorry I miised you at the big G! Hope you are all well. xx
