Cinnamon Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 I would love to know what they are like I have a vision of a big barn, with a few computers perched on hay bales, a smell of coffee & chickens EVERYWHERE! The girls are in nice gingham check frocks & the boys in Boxers All chewing on corn stalks. There is a pile of Eglus in the corner, & a nest of eggs on every desk. I know some of you have been there....please tell me they are like this (or post a picture?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 I've got a picture somewhere. I'll look it out. Eglus everywhere? Yes - like a beautiful rainbow! Chickens everywhere? Well, there was an escapee plus a shed full of gingernuts all cute and looking babyish ready to go out to new owners soon! Big barn? Well a big warehouse full of Eglu parts! Haybales? No!! A nice, slightly cluttered office (I can't talk though!) full of computers and stuff - Ollie found a chicken stuffed toy which was rather cute hiding amongst the plants . Gingham dresses? No sign of Penny, Jan or Brenda when we were there so I can't say what standard Omlet ladies attire consists of. Boxers? NO!! I did see Simon of the Bottom but it was definitely covered with more than boxer shorts . How's that?? I'll try to find the photo to post tomorrow if I remember!!

Lesley Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 As Kate says, cluttered office, bits of prototype eglus everywhere, boxes of books and smells of coffee! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 It didn't smell of coffee today and it was tipping it down with rain! Good job James is handy with an umbrella or two! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel (& Paul) Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Nope the girls dont wear gingham It doesnt smell of coffee but there is a bakery underneath and when we went it smelt of warm bread and spices. mmmmmmmmmmmmm.....!! It was very busy when I went, but I think that the boys were faking it so they didnt have to stand up and turn round - after all Clare had frightened the life out of them when she visited just before me. Too many eglus for my credit card's liking!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Sarah, they are in a modern farm outbuilding at the end of a row, with fields behind them. The road to the offices is rather bumpy,and the office is a bit chaotic, with bits and pieces everywhere. Mel has mentioned the bread smell. They are all very busy when I go in, There are usually 3 girls there answering the phones, and they are really lovely. The chickens outside are lovely too.

The Dogmother Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Perhaps one of the boys could post some pictures - they might have to have a tidy, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Here you go - will this do? James and William in the Omlet office Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted October 31, 2005 Author Share Posted October 31, 2005 Where are all the Chickens????? I expected to see them perched on top of the moniters,scurrying around the floor etc It looks a lot tidier & neater than I imagined - obviously a womans touch there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 That was taken when LSH went down to collect something in May - it's a little different now. I think that the bit behind the lads is now shelving with books, files etc on. Boxes of T-shirts etc all on the floor behind them too. There's a flight of stairs leading up to the office which is kind of L-shaped and that bit is the long bit of the L - the three Gingham clad Omlet ladies have a desk each there now and the lads all work in the other part of the L surrounded by files, boxes etc. No chickens up there at all unless you count the fluffy toy Gingernut!! I remember seeing a chicken calendar too but no real ones!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DucktorWho Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I'm a bit worried about their shelving unit.....it looks a tad precarious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DucktorWho Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Our Dyson gets moaned at a lot for being so awkward to use and breaking quite a bit. I think we'll go back to Hoover next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
