Lord Sugar has got a bone to pick with BBC Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles. "Some people tweet me say u told them to unfollow me as I plug my book. Hope not true otherwise a case of POT/KETTLE," tweeted Sugar, who as followers will be aware is not entirely averse to banging on about his memoirs on Twitter. There's more: "Dear Chris Moyles if you want me to talk other things lets discuss the plight of the common earth worm and how it's is the gardeners friend." And: "I am repeating a tweet from someone who said CM told people to unfollow me. I did say IF repeat IF its true. POT/KETTLE. If not forget it." Steady oh LS, if there was a bed in the boardroom we might suggest you should have a lie down. Hang on, he's back. "U want to hear personal stuff instead book or [sic] biz tweets. I'm 5'8 weigh 76kg suffer excessive wind if eat too much broccoli." Moyles has so far kept quiet, very possibly for the first time since records began.
