I felt some sympathy for the contestants on BBC One’s Junior Apprentice last night. Split into two teams, this week the candidates were set with the task of organising a cupcake sale.
Now I’m not running a cupcake sale for Lord Sugar, but Heléna and I have been planning the OneKind events you’ve been hearing a lot about lately: the FireWalk and OneKind Live. I could relate to the teen-entrepreneurs; the nervousness associated with hoping that everyone will enjoy the final offering.

"A what?"
"A fire walk."
"You mean, walking on a fiery bed of hot coals?"
"Exactly."
"And why would any of our supporters want to do that?"
"Because they want to raise money for animals. Oh, and maybe because they're a little bit mad."
"Is it safe?"
"Of course! These specialists have been running these events for 20 years with no problems. Besides, people have been walking on fire since prehistoric times."
"Right."
"Right."
"This should be interesting."
