Nescafé

so at that point you must have thought right I've got a really good chance here

i did but they always do tell you you are never ever ever in that villa until you step foot in that villa and that is so true because even like i don't know whether you're aware but there's like a holding period before you actually go into the villa oh talk us through the process yeah stuff that people don't know i was in the process for a few months i was back and forth to london meeting the exact stuff like that and is that a sit down let's have a coffee let's have a chat that's tell us a joke so you go into like the boot so you've got a huge office in London you go into like the boot area you go and pick all clothes you go into like there's loads of different things that you go into Nescaf pick all your coffee that you like stuff like that and then you basically have like a 15 minute chat with the execs they get a feel for you and then they ask you to come back so I think in the end I ended up going to London all three four times before I went on the show but you couldn't wait after the first one yeah and then you have to get your biggest bag to fill with all the goodies I know And then obviously you have to get medical.

So you have to go down to the doctors down in London and everything.

So that was a pretty long process.

behalf of all of us, the first stint of Allegri was espresso inside Tiramisu.

The second stint was Nescafe Blend 43 inside Pita Mussels.

So it's kind of what an evil world out there and all at the hands of the devil.

You know the story about Nescafe, don't you? After World War II, they tried to bring coffee to Japan.

of course, they only had tea.

Every time it comes out, it's all, you know, OCR announcement, the committee's going to, you know, make a decision.

What's the vibe of the conference? My mind immediately goes to what's the situation like in that room? Like, are they sitting down around a table with some of the old Nescafe classic? stirring that through with some of the old anchor milk and a couple of super wines? Or is it a proper boardroom situation and they've got papers and data and they're reading through that? Or have they got a pre-pack of data that they're getting and they've pre-made their decision before heading into it and then they sit around and talk about it? I don't know.

I'd love to know on a scale of like what the situation is.

Is it a sit down over a cup of tea and a coffee and we're having a bit of a chinwag? Or we can't and then we've got reports and we're going to talk about this shit for hours and then vote on it.

We'll, we'll talk about it.
