All these hairs, it might give someone a prod to wear a hat before they cook.
Or at least pin / tie hair back (pony tail, knot) and wear a hairband. I wonder if the majority of owner cooks do something like that normally but omit to do so on 4iaB for vanity reasons.
Wearing a clean full apron will also prevent hairs falling off clothes - though a quick whiz over the front of any clothing with sellotape or one of those adhesive roller things will help pick off most loose hairs before they can mysteriously make their way onto a plate.
I would be absolutely gutted turning up to that lovely house and being directed towards a yurt.
But then you'd think something along the lines of hmmmm, I'm on tv... I'm going to present myself as a jolly good sport...
I wouldn't mind a yurt (but given sufficient privacy, on a dark night I wouldn't faff about walking to official loo... a convenient shrub would do... ) and at least here the woodburning stove was lit and there was conservatory-style seating and there was a little table and two chairs. It was much better equipped than the glamping we saw a few weeks ago where the guests were supposed to cook their own brekkies on a barbie...
I don't know about the technicalities of these things, but I don't see why there can't be a discreet portaloo tucked behind the yurt.
I'm guessing that the loo in the woods was not plumbed into a septic tank or similar but was probably some sort of natural earth closet whereas portaloos operate on chemicals which have to be emptied and the contents disposed of which would probably have to be via a contractor. Also, too close to either type would probably lead to smells of an undesirable nature in hot weather. Though... hot weather in the Lake District...?
that bloke said he had strange dreams, that's what eating too much dust before bedtime does for you.
Oh gods yes, I'd forgotten that... erased it from my mind, more like. The producers should introduce him to Alfie (was it?) the guy from Liverpool who kept rinsing his face in lavatories... men can be very strange.

yep, he was another odd one. Some people just go into melt down when the camera is pointing at them.:p
I'm now waiting to see how things pan out between the 4 girls and still wondering what the former nurses found in their bedroom and objected to? Suggestions please!
Mine was chintz which some people seem to find terrifying but on watching these two days, I think our ex nurses are probably made of stern enough stuff.
There's always the choice of a guzunder..I think I'd insist on a nice antique blue and white jobbie not a tin one like we used to have to cope with at my Cumbrian grandparents home.
No lekky..outside loo...a trek to that with a candle in the dark was a trip too far.
Thanks for the link. Blimey, they've got a whole industry going on there! I found the pricing for the yurts a bit confusing. I like the look of some of cottages, the Beckstone one's in particular.
You're welcome,
I think they've got a baby business there which will probably grow and grow.
I like your idea of the hot water bottles..reminds me of life with me gran:D
Years ago, when central heating wasn`t available to the average person, hot water bottles were put into guest beds for at least 2 or 3 days before a guest arrived so the the beds would be `aired` and dry for them to sleep in.
Perhaps all Yurt and Glamping Holidays owners should take note and do the same.
Definitely.
And don't forget that bottles today can have some really modern covers, they're not the things our granny had ... well, they are of course, but brought right up to date.
I use one against my back when I have to sit all day in an office chair and am having one of those days.
Mine's got a fur fabric cover patterned in brown and white cow markings
Besides anything else, they're cheap as chips and yet give a high degree of comfort.

Right, I've thought about this and here's my stab at it...
The two women are shown to their room where they find Paul reclining on the bed, wearing just a leopardskin mankini and a jaunty dickie...and I'm not even joking*
Well they were game enough to stay in the yurt so I don't think it can be anything trivial, also it can't be sorted as they end up staying elsewhere. I reckon its not something they are flouncing over - rather its like a burst pipe flooding the room and there are no other rooms available.

Thanks but I was rather hoping for something controversial!;):D

I'm always really shocked that B&B owners (or their cooks) don't wear hair-nets or even tie their hair back when preparing food / breakfast.
It's outrageous from a health & hygiene point of view! In any commercial kitchen it would be enforced. Plus, at least they could be motivated by not wanting a hair to be found in their food on national TV!
They don't even tie their hair back or put a cap on.

I used to do wedding cakes...many moons ago....however, I always had my hair covered with a proper chefs headscarf whilst making and decorating the cakes. These B and B owners must have had to get a Food Handling and Hygiene Certificate..so why haven`t they got their barnets covered?
Truth might be something as simple as they get called back to their place and so 'we won't be staying in your room tonight' - and we all fall for it.
Although, precis says they find something in their room - so there's a chance yet that my guess is infact the correct one
Have you caught up yet though Nutty?
I think a lot of us watch because of this forum rather than wanting to really keep up with the programme on its own.
Hey everyone, not been able to post for a while. Just watched it on catchup, I work shifts!
Probably been asked already but are the two ladies business partners or romantic partners? It's just they were introduced just as "partners", and usually if it's two people of the same sex they say "business partners" if they mean that...
I suppose the resemblance of Brummie bloke to Noddy Holder has already been done?!
First thought on Ben & Katie - how lucky are they to be able to live in that house? It's gorgeous
However, I'm hoping this was tongue-in-cheek but I thought it was a bit bad of Katie to say that if any of the others played up then she would pull "the pregnant card" (she said it in the first few mins).
I wondered about the Veronica and Saida "partners" thing as well - maybe they are a couple but just don't want to say on national TV?
Also - I definitely wouldn't want to stay in a yurt, but even if I did, £85 is just too much. Maybe £60-65 is about right considering the distance to the toilet and the basic shower, and for the beds being bunks and damp.
The 2 blondes imo have been quite fair so far - I'm intrigued as to what would make V&S not want to stay at theirs?

I did see that - I laughed... I did think it was funny. It looked as if she was just revelling in the knowledge she was newly pregnant.
Both Veronica and Saida mentioned families but hey ho I belong to the section of society that is grateful when people go along with..our "arrangements" really are our business.

That's about the size of it! Sums up the feeling you can have (as opposed to "OH NO!")
I remember the middle months of pregnancy being a lovely time too.
That reminds me, there must be a lot of staff we haven't seen at their place. The cleaning must need a large task force for starters.
My dear, the hairs!

Veronica mentioned that one of them had had 6 children?
But yes, while agree that not everyone should be chivvied into 'coming out' or stating precise details of a friendship I did wonder about their relationship.

They've had twin rooms both times so far so maybe it's just business?
Other horror stories shamelessly using Solar's example as inspiration
The girls enter Paul's room brandishing whips, handcuffs and chains and other unmentionables. Hairgate revenge.
Still he might even like it. As has been noted, men like all sorts of things. They don't always admit to washing their faces in the toilet, but who knows: there may be others out there. :eek:

That, and as has been said, slooshing lavatory bowl water over one's face - where did that come from
Men surely aren't that odd.

At least I probably win the prize for originality

Hairgate!

Yes, exactly. But then again they are of a certain age who wouldn't necessarily want to flaunt it. We will nevair know.
