Rhapsody Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 *humph* Why is it Clare is in a well-written flattering article and when I get interviewed about chooks, it is the worst piece of journalism and editing the world has ever seen? *muttering* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted June 12, 2008 Author Share Posted June 12, 2008 I must say that I thought of you when I read it Rhapsody They haven't mis-quoted, just got it out of context and made the hen parties sound all fluffy, which wasn't what I said at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Nice article You are NEVER that old! But I'm glad I have designer Eglu's. I AM Essex woman personified. Shame I was a bit squiffy last night when I did my Essex Girl acrylics. Oh well - now I wonder if its OK to carry my designer Eglu down to the country club with me. It won't fit in my Chanel tote (FAKE - canal Street NYC!) or be picked up in the reflection of my Chanel sunglasses... (real, John Lewis Sale - I bought them half price as an anniversary present, a few weeks after I kicked my husband out!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helly Welly Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 That's a really nice article Claret. They make hen parties sound weird though, as if we get together just to talk about keeping chickens. And there was me thinking that hen parties were for teaching people about chicken keeping. I can just picture a load of us sat round an eglu, comparing notes on chicken poo. Mind you, we do that on here everyday anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted June 12, 2008 Author Share Posted June 12, 2008 And I was sooo careful not to make them sound 'fluffy' too . Perhaps they took that from something Omlet said when he interviewed Johannes *shrugs* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlottechicken Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Brilliant Clare But why do they have to call them designer chicken coops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted June 12, 2008 Author Share Posted June 12, 2008 True, and they mis-quoted me about 'wooden hutches' - we never even discussed the alternatives to eglus, just talked about mine and the girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizinsa Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I think the Hen Parties are made out to sound 'fluffy' because they are called parties rather than courses, and we've seen today with the Waitrose Woman article, the liberties journalists and editors take! I like the name, it makes it seem much more informal and think it will have attracted people to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannie Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Great Claire! I found it a bit scary with the Good Housekeeping one, not knowing what they're going to print, and whether they'll get things straight or not. I don't have much faith in journalists. And I don't know why they always have to put ages in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
