A SALESMAN from Princes Risborough will be doing his best to impress Sir Alan Sugar in the next series of The Apprentice.

Lee McQueen, 30, will be pitting his wits against 15 other contestants in a bid to be hired by the fearsome businessman and earn a six figure salary.

Mr McQueen, the son of a milkman, bought his first house at the age of 18, and has bought another one since for his mother.

He said: "There is no airy fairy stuff with me, I tell it how I see it."

Lee describes himself as a cat which is sometimes purring with affection and other times just biting.

He has worked in the recruitment industry for more than eight years, mainly in IT.

For fun in the office, he enjoys doing a "reverse pterodactyl" which involves him standing on a chair and screeching.

He said he believes Sir Alan to be "a true entrepreneur" and thinks he can learn to be a fantastic businessman working for him.

He will be battling it out in the fourth series of the popular BBC1 show, which is set to begin on Wednesday, March 26.

I hope this bunch of people are more intelligent than those from the last series. I was saddened that these so called Captains of Industry were only in it for the publicity.

Still great show to watch.

From his comments, it sounds like he'll be embarrassing the people of Princes Risborough.

If he has time to mess about impersonating dinosaurs then he clearly doesn't work very hard...

a "reverse pterodactyl"

... idea of fun? for whom? Cringe! how many jobs have you had my lad cos it's the sort of thing your colleagues would laugh at only once.

Lee's Mate - "Oi Lee, ...Lee, come and do your reverse pterodactyl impression again but this time for the accounts department. Haha ha ha! Ha! Ha! I tell you it's really great! Watch him."

Lee - "Arrgh! Arrrgh! Arrrgh! Argh!"

Lee -"Argh!"

Lee -"Arrgh! Argh!"

Lee's mate - "Ha hahaha ... ha ha ha I told you."

I think I've just written a scene from a great sitcom.

He will do well. Agter all- he IS from Princes Risborough, lucky for us we don't tend to be in-bred.
