Leicester_H Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Apparently there was a eglu on last night. I watched most of the programme but didn't notice it - anyone see it? Can see on iPlayer http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0133hl7/Dragons_Den_Series_9_Episode_1/ H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Noo it was an Egglu (nothing to do with an eglu) Hmm, just look out for the man with the toilet.... I'm not explaining what it does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Gosh. That name is a bit close for comfort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Gosh. That name is a bit close for comfort. I thought that too, I did wonder how he was planning to get away with using that name. I don't think spelling 'egglu' with an extra 'G' would be sufficiently different for Omlet not to be a bit cross about it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I've emailed HQ about it. They updated their twitter about it this morning. The Egglu on Dragon's Den last night - nothing to do with us! What a surprise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickencam Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Sounds like a passing off case to me, I can't see Omlet letting it lie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitchHazel Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 It's not uncommon for same or similar names to be used for different products - Dove soap and Dove chocolate are made by two entirely different companies. It's only really an issue if they are similar products. You can see why the chap has called his product Egglu (or Eggloo, I'm not sure how he's spelling it). His product is egg shaped and it goes in a loo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clootie Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Bloomin awful product ... I mean, who would want to oik that out of the loo and clean it ...... bleh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutti Frutti Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Is there much Omlet can do - have they trademarked the name? The toilet Egglu is used in a completely different product area, much as Polo can be a mint or a Volkswagen - although Eggloo would have been more appropriate. But I agree, yuk subject and I actually couldn't watch anymore when he put banana down the loo and flushed it :vom: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I thought Hilary was fab! A voice a bit like a bloke crossed with Deirdre Barlow - but she is good & down to earth! The toilet man was spelling it Eggloo. I did laugh at his pitch & demo with the banana! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicken bark Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I'm going to have to change my username. On other forums it is egglou. Bit too close for comfort for me too. Don't want folk to associate me with toilets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I must admit I did turn to hubby and say 'he can't use that name'. Not sure at all about the new dragon. I do wish she'd sit up straight and put her head up. She reminds me of a vulture, sitting with her head down and big shoulders. I think it will be interesting to see how she gets on as she is very straight forward. I think there will be quite a few clashes I think!

Tutti Frutti Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Having a few mins to kill I surfed for EGGLU and found their website here - how can they claim splashback can cause piles? And... I didn't realise the Fried Egglu is spelt with a double g - so this toilet gadget has EXACTLY the same spelling as an Omlet product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
