I noticed the other day that they do there shopping list by computer using the TV screen. That would be a good idea for our's it would give that plasma screen some use, and it would make it more up to date than that old blackboard and chalk idea. They could drag and drop there food budget from the main database and get it added up to the penny. (great) it would give us something to look at as well while they did it. :spin2:

I can't see any reason why they can't either.

They could do some on screen design as a task as well, and put it up on the channel 4 site.

Our BB producers are determined to be 'purists' in some ways, and yet mess endlessly with the formula in others. Oh well, we are British, after all!

Seems very logical to me to make use of all the computerised equipment they have in the houe. The computer could even add up the shopping for them as they went along to stop any mistakes.

But then again we are British - so cant do anything the easy way.

But the chalkboard does often cause arguments and makes the shopping list hour much more enjoyable to watch especially when in the beginning when everyone is shouting! x x x

Yeah, but we could watch em drag and drop items and still cause argument's. If they can put text messages in half the screen why not the shopping list, I could then shout at the telly. We can then see more clearly what there likes and dislikes are. :thumbs: The shopping list statistics, over the 9 weeks My god!! am I sad or what for saying that! :laugh:
