One week later and whilst Duncan had forgotten all about this humorous tweet, in keeping with the day, it seems that the London Evening Standard took him a little too seriously and ran a piece on its website announcing this within it's business section as fact.



Whilst Bannatyne has a reputation for being a no-nonsense, straight talking Scot this goes to prove that behind that exterior is a cheeky nature who some take too seriously at times. 

Bannatyne commented: "Anyone who knows me or has seen me on television either on the BBC's Dragons' Den or currently on Seaside Rescue on Virgin1 will see that hopefully i am far from hanging up my trainers and settling into a nursing home"
