They went everywhere together, as they knew no one else around! We were all polite to them but they eventually got on the front office's nerves when they were coming in to ask:
"are there any messages for us?" or "can you please tell anyone that calls for us we will be ...."
Constantly the answers were:
"no, sorry, there are no messages in the past 5minutes since your last visit" or "sorry, we can take messages for you, but we don't give messages out to anyone that calls for you."
Even though they quickly realised none of the front office staff were interested in a fling, one of the housekeepers was quite flattered by their talkativeness and constantly spent ages chatting. She was warned twice about it as she her daily hours almost doubled during the period they were here, for the same amount of rooms to clean! Even moving her to rooms no where NEAR the boys didn't help .. instead they started coming over to find her!
In the end, the housekeeper had to choose her job over the boys - whom I'm sure where heartbroken as they really seemed lonely.
