Discount on an olive tree? Get-outta-here!

Viewers of Thursday’s screening of BBC1’s Young Apprentice series will have seen a London garden centre manager giving the apprentices  a hard time when they asked for a discount on a 4ft olive tree.



Garden Centre Guy, as the apprentices have now tagged him, refused to succumb to charm or persuasion. “Why should I give you a discount? Let's give the whooooole garden centre a discount,” he fumed, clearly enjoying the limelight in front of the TV cameras.

The encounter spawned a flood of Tweets, like “Will anybody dare ask for a discount in a garden centre after tonight’s episode”.

Who is he? We think we know, but we’re not letting on…Watch it on iPlayer and decide for yourselves.

Did he eventually give in?  Did the apprentices get their way?
