Late Lunchtime Links: Do you know Liz Locke, formerly of Deutsche Bank?

Liz Locke used to work at Deutsche Bank. She is now, apparently, expected to win the Apprentice.

Precisely what Liz used to do at Deutsche Bank is the source of controversy. On her BBC biography, Liz says she was a 'young, but experienced trader in investment banking.' The UK's tabloid press says she was actually a typist and data inputter. Liz's 'close friends' say she's completed, 'all her FSA exams and is hugely experienced in her field.' But the only Elizabeth Locke on the FSA register previously worked at UBS... Any elucidation would be appreciated.
