What is MNHQ really like?

Is it like a call centre with little cells cubicles for staff? Or it is a trendy Google type HQ with beanbags and table tennis tables everywhere?

Do you have a list of 25 make up products to wear like "Beauty" counters in shops? Do you all wear polo shirts with MN logos on? Or boiler suits and funny caps like the minions in a bond film?

Do you have tai chi before work and sing the Mumsnet anthem? Is there a canteen with Pom Bears and a gin dispenser?

Exposed brickwork and girders. Very casual, if not slovenly dress code. No sign of beanbags.

I think that's just a front though and really it's inside mi5 and it's super cool

I've been there- there was cake and lots of books and everyone was lovely

I have absolutely no idea why, but in my mind it is like the factory from The Raggy Dolls. Makes no sense whatsoever!

No Choppy, I've not been there. I'm sure the time will come when I'll be standing outside Justine's office waiting for a telling off, just not done it yet.

It smells of Green Valley Zoflora and Jo Malone candles

I've been there. Haven't you?

Do you subtly offer biscuits to anyone in the office who is getting on your wick?

Do you have 'naice' biscuits, and 'ODFOD' biscuits?

Does Olivia let you stroke her eyebrows, or can you only gaze at them from afar?

Does Tech work out of a shed at the bottom of the garden? (a naice purpose built shed with FTP of course?
