Great idea for a (slightly odd) new business venture

So I went through with the meeting with my bank to discuss this business idea and a possible loan. Basically the loan advisor had to stifle his laughter on a couple of occasions whilst I was going through the business plan and then at the end told me it probably wouldn’t work. I actually felt quite humiliated

Needless to say I won’t be taking this one any further for the time being. I do have another business idea brewing though that I definitely think might work.

Have you considered adapting your peanut suit to becoming a pigeon trap using the Roald Dahl method and selling pigeon pie instead?

This is more of a living art idea. I can imagine a few zoos paying you to stand in their aviaries and [heavy] petting areas. Or you could really annoy Boris by bringing the pigeons back to Trafalgar square and getting people to pay to attach the nuts.
Or you could just develop the whole idea as a weekend hobby

PS What happened to the tie in post one that had disappeared [been eaten?] by post 26? I assume you would not be able to afford it as you would be working for peanuts.

WHAT???? :eek:

What just happened to my world?

Peanuts are legumes, same family as beans, peas, lentils etc.

Therefore it is not as silly as it sounds having warning of "may contain traces of nut" on the packet.

Someone with a nut allergy could be perfectly fine eating peanuts and some one with a peanut allergy could be fine eating nuts.

What's the betting your business idea is featured in the bank's in-house staff magazine under the heading "Strangest Loan Requests"!

I think your business ideas need far more research before being shared (and I really don't think you should share them on the internet for anyone to steal).

British Airways no longer serve peanuts on their flights, because of the possibility of peanut dust setting off anaphylaxis. Are you seriously expecting managers to allow clouds of peanut dust on their premises? The slightest business research into peanuts should have elicited this fact............

I understand now it wasn't the best idea, although I still think it would work quite well.

Good news is I have moved onwards and upwards and I now have a new business idea! A better business idea...

• I posted another thread about it here.
