Deborah was bang on the money with the "declining market" thing. This episode aired in 2006 and sure enough not 3 years later (a time he said they'd be making 30% profit) EVERYONE has Google maps on their phone, which does this for free and considerably better than anyone trying to give directions to someone OVER THE PHONE. Ridiculous idea. Add to that the general growing distrust/hatred towards charged phone calls/phone calls in general, and you have a challenger for the worst invention I've ever seen. This is honestly worse than the flow signals thing in my opinion.

It really amazed me how it worked, my kid imagination thought it had something to do with the AA badge on our grill. Somehow they located us using it

He didn't make £15 a day. He said he would be a very happy man if he made that. As it turns out he never even made £15 as one of the taxi drivers said he signed up for a number of years never received one call. All that money spent on advertising including the dragons den appearance, would be more than what the business made. This is the worst business idea ever on the show. At least the flow signal pole could be turned into a beacon to show a location at night then it would have some use. For example, warn ships of a rocky area near a port.
