Lesley Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I've just seen a row of Eglus behind the presenter on BBC Breakfast News - she's chatting about the Eco Pod house........ Is anyone else watching the programme? - with Kevin building a house live over the next 5 days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Mum (the anti-chicken) saw them this morning! I had the programme on last night, but I wasn't really concentrating (and I fell asleep before the end!). Mum was very excited to see the Eglus on the news - yes the anti-chicken is actually going to help out on the Omlet stand tomorrow - she's really looking forward to it. Mind you she's been mentioning a second cube lately..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fourfinches Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I'm helping next Saturday - if anyone visits do come & say hello. I helped last year too - it was good fun but I was talked out and exhausted by the end. Morag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMO Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 There are two Eglus outside the Eco house but the main Omlet stand is just inside the garden section with a huge display of a cube and 3 other Eglus. We had a brill day there on Saturday and the time just flew by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 do you get paid for helping out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I believe Omlet look for willing volunteers to 'talk chicken' for the day but they do shout you lunch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunty e Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I did Monday, which was ace, although my feet hurt SO much by the time I got home. Then Johannes had to stop by my house to pick up the cash box and had a quick peek at our set up. I was a bit embarassed at my grubby cube, filled to the brim with chickens, but he was very nice about it! I'm really looking forward to helping out again on Saturday. Apparently there are a few of us as they expect it to be REALLY busy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhapsody Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I'm there on Friday too Tina C!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina C Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 And didn't we have a great time? If anyone was watching the show last night and saw an omlet t-shirt in the crowd that was us just before we sloped off home rather later than planned... Didn't get much time to chat during the day but we made up for it over a couple of beers later Rhapsody is lovely and just how like I imagined her to be from her posts on the forum. Also met Fiona from Bath who does not come on the forum a great deal, and - briefly - Johannes who breezed through half way into the day, took a few photos and vanished. Oh and I met a lovely couple who were very excited about going to AMO's next hen party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhapsody Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 TinaC you were a right laugh and no mistake. Anyone who accepts an invitation to go for a drink so enthusiastically is alright in my book, and hey it had been a long day. What she isnt telling you is we tried to get to the bars at Canary Wharf on foot, all I can say is dont! Daftest question of the day for me (asked twice) " Does the revolving stand come with it then?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Daftest question of the day for me (asked twice) " Does the revolving stand come with it then?" Brilliant! (mind you, it could be the next line in chicken entertainment) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I can just imagine an eglu on a turning stand and an impatient chicken wanting to hop into her eglu to lay an egg! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedusA Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Can I ask who won the House of the Year? I was watching but was called away to a splinter emergency and missed the result! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Black Sheep house won. That was the one in the Scottish Isles somewhere in the middle of nowhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted May 12, 2008 Author Share Posted May 12, 2008 I've missed the last few programmes - I'm glad it was the Black Sheep House Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedusA Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Thanks ubereglu. I wanted either that one or the straw bale eco house to win. I'm glad it wasn't a "modern" one. Can't see the attraction in minimalism and stainless steel myself. Give me clutter and copper anytime! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
