Sugar is sweet to apprentice Lee
10:40am Thursday 3rd July 2008
TOUGH-guy businessman Alan Sugar showed his softer side with a few words of sympathy for apprentice Lee McQueen, who called in sick for his first day of work.
New recruit Lee, 30, from Princes Risborough scooped a £100,000 job working for Sir Alan after winning The Apprentice TV show.
However, he picked up a virus while on holiday in Spain last week, forcing him to miss work on Tuesday.
Yesterday former Amstrad boss and multi-millionaire Sir Alan said: "What a shame for the poor fellow. He's flat on his back and he's sick as a parrot not just because he's sick but he's sick that he can't come in.
"He's phoning me every 10 minutes giving me chapter and verse of how many times he's visited the loo but I won't share (that) with you."

And as if he would take Lee's calls every 10 minutes, more like Francis is and saying "I'm sorry, he's in a meeting"
What a load of twaddle
