What I absolutely loved was the fact that she was happily munching on her own cooking while serving the dragons..and that shout to bring her daughter into the den....! Just brilliant 😊
I once stayed at a small hotel in Thailand. There was no restaurant attached to the hotel. One day the owner invited me to eat with her, her mother and brother. We all sat together outside and enjoyed a grilled fish and some sides. It was delicious. More importantly, for 45 minutes, I didn’t feel like a tourist or a customer. I was just hanging out with friendly people on the other side of the world, and they weren’t hustling, trying to scam me/rob me etc. It was wonderful.
sounds nice ngl. This is what travel is all about, sharing food with other people, I have had some good experiences but ALSO BAD ONES I am not going to lie.
The are other sites like that - for instance Eatwith etc. It’s not the idea - it’s the execution. She’d be a lovely “mascot person”, but needed someone who could really turn idea into a scalable business.
@@Psycho250785 Eatwith started after our appearance on Dragons Den. All the other sites that exist today started after our appearance. Suppose I should be chuffed, I was asked if there were any other sites doing it by Deborah and at the time no one had thought of it.
She needed Sara to be here, she may have invested. Can you imagine putting this grandmother on TV every week, she could sell anything, people would just buy it because of the laughs! 😁
Being friendly & congenial doesn't necessarily make the business viable so I get why nobody invested. If she doesn't have one already, this woman should make videos of her experiences preparing meals & hosting people for entertainment & advertisement. People love cooking videos.
The business could defintely be viable. She has been able to grow her platform to 2000 users with virtually no marketing (so there is definetly a market for this). She would be able to monetize her platform through advertising and selling user data. If she came in at a £50,000 valuation she would've seen investment.
What a shame Hilary didn't go for it. I would have loved seeing online advertising featuring this Gran and Hilary eating together and having a yarn. They are both such unique personalities, voices and delightful looks/styles.
Best Dragons Den episode I’ve seen in terms of a feel good instead of watching someone get slaughtered which we have come to enjoy, the lady’s energy to be around would cure deep depression. Good upload! I thought I had seen every episode by now, this was gold.
I feel like any one of these dragons could help her effectively monetise the platform. This old lady's lack of financial acumen shouldn't be so big a barrier
@@thatsthatthen5980 it's you! Sorry if I offended haha. I think the dragons were short sighted - just because you hadn't monetised the platform doesn't mean that it couldn't be done. You're not an advertising expert!
Oh, Vicky, you had me in tears with laughter! One of the best pitches in terms of laughter I have ever seen in the Den. But, babesinthewood, you're not so much an entrepreneur, more a entree-baker!!😁😁😁!!
The 95% offer was so ridiculous and disrespectful. I would've countered and said, yes, I'll give you 95% but I want $500,000(and thrown the disrespect right back at her). The other dragons would've loved it.
I think Hilary’s offer was insulting, ridiculous and exploitative. She saw that they didn’t know much about business but had a really good idea (which is proven because it’s now used on AirBnB and EatWith and other sites), she saw there was a potential for it to grow and become extremely profitable. She also saw that they clearly didn’t have much of an idea about business and wanted to basically exploit them and buy the complete rights of their business of them for 95%. Meaning she would have majority control and could then basically do whatever she wanted. And the two people who initially came up with the idea would be left with 2.5% of the profit each. Absurd. Of course they would never agree to give that much away and they shouldn’t.
I had the same idea 30years ago.But I knew it wouldn't work unless I had a lot of money behind it, so it was no surprise she left the den with nothing.
She should make a RUclips channel with her own and her members experiences, vlog style. Then she care share her lovely personality and get sponsorship deals etc (I hope) to make some money with her fun ideas.
How long ago was this? I remember seeing a similar site some years ago. Ans yes after airbnb there are many starups offereing experiences like this. Their lack of budiness acumen could have been compensated if they have IT savy people in their teams.
What a wonderful woman, and just a complete bundle of joy, who clearly raised a lovely daughter.
What I absolutely loved was the fact that she was happily munching on her own cooking while serving the dragons..and that shout to bring her daughter into the den....! Just brilliant 😊
I could never resist lava bread and bacon. Didn't realise I was doing it!😆
My heart breaks a little everytime I see the grandma's expression when the Dragons rejected her one by one

This is called local experiences on Airbnb. She was before her time and it's a proven idea.

@@mostyn459 Absolutely is a fantastic idea and the Dragon’s understood. How did it continue/end?
We need more people like her in the world
This world is going to tarnish people like her.
She's absolutely bonkers and I love it.
She is not bonkers she just has a personality
'We' are all like her in South Wales mate! 🏴
Why do we call happy genuine nice people oozing with life bonkers?
She is the sweetest thing I've ever seen, everyone should have a grandma like her in their lives 🥰
"Do you mind if I call my daughter ", screams "GEORGIA"! Instant classic🤘
Reminds me of the book store sketch in Little Britain. 😁
That's 'us' South Wales Welsh for you. 🏴
The old fashioned way of calling people.
😂 Bless Her
That wasn’t a scream. That was the posh telly version. 🏴❤️
She’s amazing - what a vibe and so open minded to new people and experiences 🥳
A total nutjob exactly what I’d expect

That was a spot on impression. 😆😆

The biggest secret of all is that I am a terrible cook! I was so glad that they didn't question me on recipes.

Yes - she's a real tonic
@@ruthh5199 what was your take on the episode:) I need to follow up & see if there still in business
Funny, intense, best pitch ever!
What honest people. Really sad to see this idea on so many sites now and the people who thought of it first get nothing.
She is ADORABLE. Like a sweet, fizzy cocktail.
She’s the sweetest lady ever
This is so watchable- warm vibes- entertaining..... absolutely delightful
She made my day, no doubt about that!
I would be so happy to have a person like that in my life!
One of the happiest pitches in the den, by far ..
Wow.. what a lady! She oozes bubbles of joy.. I would definitely invite her to dinner 😀
That woman would make a fantastic comedian, just being herself ! 😀
The relationship between the mother and the daughter is very nice. Don't give up!
12:35 her impersonation of Hillary at the end lmao
I feel like any one of these dragons could help her effectively monetise the platform. This old lady's lack of financial acumen shouldn't be so big a barrier
Sadly it is
First time for me to be called an old lady 😄 Won't be the last though!
@@thatsthatthen5980 it's you! Sorry if I offended haha.
I think the dragons were short sighted - just because you hadn't monetised the platform doesn't mean that it couldn't be done. You're not an advertising expert!
This has got to be one of the funniest dragon's den episodes. I really struggled to hold my laughter😂😂😂
She’s so adorable!
This is huge, she is absolutely right! There are a few in America who do that. You can even watch many videos here on RUclips about that...
Yes, it sounds like a culinary version of AirBnb.
This is what I call entertainment haven’t seen the Den do this for a long time
she reminds me of my grandmother. she was just like this lady. talkative, infectious...
Love the idea! Would totally use a website like that if I was visiting a country
Such a sweet adorable grandma.
Her enthusiasm is contagious ❤
The old lady was such a beautiful character
What a humbling woman. Funny too.
I would have invested just to hangout with her more. 😁
She is so precious
BEST pitch EVER lmao! Shes so bloody wholesome
She would make more money having her own youtube cooking channel. Great personality.
Underrated comment
this is by far the most brilliant entertaining Dragon's den I have seen. Totally enjoyed it.
Oh, Vicky, you had me in tears with laughter! One of the best pitches in terms of laughter I have ever seen in the Den. But, babesinthewood, you're not so much an entrepreneur, more a entree-baker!!😁😁😁!!
She seems so wonderful to be around
I think my daughter's would disagree with you, I frustrate them sometimes🙃
I’m headed to the “date my sister” web site to see if I can get a date with Georgia. ☺️
Oh she is lovely!
@@CyberBeep_kenshi georgious
It's a phenomenal idea though. Don't think I've ever heard if such a site, but it would make a lot of sense.
Why I Stan the grandma... she's a whole mood
What does this mean? Serious question.
Yas we stan granny

True that. I was actually FURIOUS when Hilary went for 95%. Damn cheek.
Her greed lost her a good proposition.
I don't think it was a serious offer.
I think she was testing them. They're delay and shyness replying told her all she needed to know.
the company does not exist now. looks like a fair offer to me.
Vultures den
"GEORGIA" hahaha I almost choked on my coffee and laughed out loud. I love this Welsh granny : So funny :)

This is HANDS DOWN my favourite pitch of all
Another lunch break, another Dragons Den clip. Love it
Me too😂
@@IRCW same lmao
Brilliant comedians women, so lovely to be friends with these lovely women.
Hillary: "No".
Funny old lady: "Oh sausages"
Lmfao what a legend!
She may not be good in business but he's has the vibe to bring customers and keep them happy. Let others worry about the finance side of the business.
Aww this one was lovely ...what a wonderful pitch .

*it needed a lot of money behind it
What lovely woman very warm and entertaining
I'd invest 50,000 for her to be my mum
I laughed for longer than necessary at this
Mood
I'm guessing not one of the 86 likes is your real mum
@@martinworld7214 considering she’s dead probably not
This woman is a Matt Lucas character from a Little Britain sketch and you can't convince me otherwise
Daughter was a stunner 😍
Jokes?
thanks for your input
She reminds me of my Welsh Grandmother. Lots of fun but not the greatest business brain, bless her.
"Tell them about your other site"
"Come on" - Peter 🤣
This is a perfect example of Welshness. Da iawn!! 🏴🏴🏴
She should make a RUclips channel with her own and her members experiences, vlog style. Then she care share her lovely personality and get sponsorship deals etc (I hope) to make some money with her fun ideas.
You’re missing out on the subtitle comedy gold. _Theopa Fetus_ and _Pizza Jones._ Glorious.
Hilary with a very shark like deal proposition though. 95% for £50k 💀
i thought it was a good exit whilst receiving 5% of future profits
This is exactly how 'we' call each other at home! 🏴
RIP Hilary
This is the best Dragons Den ever.
I think this lady would make more having a RUclips channel/vlog.
This woman is just adorable and funny. 👌🏾 I can dine with her any time.
Made my day, genius ❤️🙏
“It was the most intense moment of my life” 😂 I actually believe that
That woman was just lovely!
Keep going don't let them stop you 💚💚💚💚
I love her impression at the end!!
I loved Vicky's impression of Hilary at the end.
love this woman!! 😍😍 I will pay a subscription just to see her boiling eggs.. 👌👌
Is the way anyone would want their Nan or Mother to be like. and the end doing an impression of Hilary, so funny. What a sweet woman!
This is one of my favourite Dragon's Den moments
She's completely off her rocker
But in the best possible way!
Not at all .... she oozes raw creativity. She's a tonic and absolutely wonderful
this would have been big if only they had the right mentor
I have never been more gutted in my viewing of every episode of this show that these two lovely ladies didn't get the investment.
They basically pitched Airbnb experiences and tinder all in one..
Ahead of their time..
How long ago was this? I remember seeing a similar site some years ago. Ans yes after airbnb there are many starups offereing experiences like this. Their lack of budiness acumen could have been compensated if they have IT savy people in their teams.
Sometimes its great to watch these Dragons Den vids with subtitles to have characters like Theopha Fetus and Pizza Jones in the mix 🤣
this grandma is legendary hope this business works i love the idea simular to what air bnb is going for today
This is a brilliant idea. I'd love to eat with locals and would easily pay for that experience.
Exactly how Airbnb started & look at them now. Dragons missed out on this.
"Seaweed"
*Rory crashes through the wall* "SEAWEEEEEDS!!!"
Man if I had money I would give every cent to mum
She is crazy funny, full of joy! ☺️💛💜
i love this woman!
dragons den would have helped these guys out alot anyways so thank you dd
