Lord Alan of Sugar has been a-wheelin' and a-dealin' ever since he was a little chirpy Cockney chappy.  His remarkable rise is full of surprises, wait until you find out what he did with a dustbin lid! His book is a proper satisfying rags-to-riches tale about a man who started with nothing but a hardcore work ethic and a belief that he could achieve anything - even happily run a football team with Terry Vegetables (okay maybe that went a bit wrong) . Sir Lord Alan of Sugar's story is way more interesting than you might think. We loved it!Welcome to our podcast where we discuss and deliberate over memoirs and biographies found in thrift shops.
