Has anyone applied/ going to apply for a job at the Edinburgh Woolen Mill? I have requested an application form as it is the only retailer that I can find who employs 15 year olds. Will it be all older people working there and will it be all ladies? I don't want to be the only boy working there.

Don't worry Robin.The auld ladies will make ye feel at home.Everyday ye go into work they will ruffle yer hair and say,"Oh wur wee boyagee."

Just imagine it like yer auld aunties who come round and gi ye a kiss without their false teeth in.......man,I still have the nightmares.

Suppose, it's better than fumbling around a lot of old, rotting, squidgie fruit.

**obiron** · 19-May-06, 19:00

**rfr10** · 19-May-06, 19:02

I think so, well if it's the same uniform as John O' Groats then yes- I think but thats the ladies, not sure about men.

**footie chick** · 19-May-06, 19:04

**obiron** · 19-May-06, 19:13

im sure you'll look lovely in your tartan trousers and waistcoat.

**rfr10** · 19-May-06, 19:15

I'll just wear my pyjama trousers, they look like the ones they wear at John O Groats LOL. How to you get trained to work in the shop? Do you go to the shop when it is closed to customers and people show you what to do or what?
