Thanks for all your comments and glad I could make some of you smile at this thread.
Maybe I have come across as this being a more serious issue than it is. Whilst it was making me feel really sick and gag when they did it in the office next to my desk, since I mentioned it to my manager it seems that something has been mentioned to the engineers. Mind you it's only been 2 days so ....
In response to the a/c we do have it in the office and I also have a fan on my desk as I struggle to regulate my temperature and as most people who work in an office know there is normally WW3 over the temp controls. However I should not have to keep putting my fan on though.
Well I have roped in the HR dept and told them what I have done i.e. hidden crystal (non-spray) air fresheners. They have said that they will keep an eye (or smell) out for them ha ha

Your lucky. I had the misfortune to work in an office where even though it was all male (me included) it was just as bad, maybe slightly worse.
The boss would continually fart, belch after drinking a fizzy drink, pick his nose in plain view and then scratch his nuts when he was standing beside you discussing something. If he was aware he was doing this we do not know. But his general demeanour for someone in his late 30s was more like that of a 20 something,who didn't know better.

If it was me, I would get some smelly capsules from off the internet, I have forgotten what they are called now, but they smell like rotten eggs, and then discretely set them off under there desks, they will soon see how annoying it is. Because these things really stink. Oh I just remembered STINK BOMBS you get 3 for 50 pence or about that.0

As the sole guy in an office, i would love to just let one rip just once without having to go to the effort of being silent. lol.0

I think these immature men are farting to get a reaction, which they are getting.
I know it's difficult, but try to ignore it completely, and they'll hopefully get bored in the endEarly retired - 18th December 2014

Make or get some fake blood. Then each time they do it, throw a "used tampon" on the floor in front of them. (i guess throwing it AT them would count as an assault).
I'm sure the first few times it was funny, but I'd prolly either smack em one if they carried on or get a new job.retirement savings target: £100,000 by 2032 start: £21200 Jun 22, Jun 23:0
