Sir Alan biased against Northerners
A language expert seems to think so and the figures do back this up...

I think he's more biased against women. 
I loved the way Nick lept into defend Lewis's in Liverpool, when Kate looked down her nose at it. TBH it is a bit down market compared to London Department stores but it has served Liverpool and Manchester very well for as long as I can remember.
When the IRA blew up Manchster city centre, M & S were homeless and Lewis's did a deal whereby they let 2 floors of their store to M & S, not just for the money but because they realised that the quickest way to get Manchester back to some order and restore confidence in the city was to get M & S back on the high street there as quick as possible.

Kate Walsh is from Stafford.
Yasmina it is then. 
Actually found out that Kate is from Staffordshire, Cannock to be precise which is about 15 minutes from here and a total dump.

Cannock is so small
.
**Prays that Darlo isn't from Cannock and therefore mortally offended**
Well, I certainly don't understand why Rocky went so early??? but then I am biased!

Trouble is the only people who understand it don't do it.

She's not still there is she? Didn't Philip say he was moving to be near her?
I don't want to speculate too much for fear of spoiling but Cannock is her home town and I think she's working in London. 
Given all the Hello coverage I was rather assuming she'd won and he was milking it for the cash cow it is for as long as possible.
Well I'm thinking the same as you but Kate in the final two as the winner hasn't been chosen yet and Sir Alan does that the week of the final.
But the last few candidates are taken on after filming but before the fnal and given a secondment of special projects for Sir Alan so they aren't left out of pocket waiting for the Apprentice to start or find another job.
So I'm led to believe anyway.

Have thought about pointing it out,many, many times, on here and in RL- but don't want to be DCI grammar police! It's v.v. common 'Up North' Maybe I should of?

My dearest friend in RL is a primary school teacher and she says it. It drives me up the wall but I can't tell her. I love her too much to upset her.
I generally just grit my teeth...

Same here, with my one of my sisters....sometimes wonder if these people would rather know? I'm sure that they are completely unaware. But, suppose what you don't know can't hurt you?
