Cap Gemini are are different company and have a big building right next to the one EDS occupy. I think EDS lost some govt work to Cap Gemini or something recently - you may be thinking of that. EDS is still alive and well in the big blue mini-skyscraper building in Telford.

Yeap - it was the Inland Revenue I worked for ( Boyd House) wicked underground tunnel to Matterson House over the road...I know that they are recuritng at the moment as I have spoken to someone I know there...can't stand the though of sitting on the M6 at junction 9/10 and the back roads are even worse from where I live.

I worked in Matheson/Boyd/Reynolds and St James between 98-01. That tunnel was something else.

Humm - used to be used byone of our problem mangers to meet his ' special friend' - they got interupted by the guys shipping the mail from one building to the other - security escorted him while he cleared his desk and out of the building. Never found out what he told his wife

Probably told the wife he had a good day in the office until about the time he was frog marched out of the office.

Hmmm...sure my "boss" got done for something similar around 1999. Wonder if it was the same person.

Yek! Just worked out the year - 1995 - I was working for ICL at the time and managed the ICL helpdesk there.

I bet there were quite a few people who 'used the tunnel'
Is it still blue and yellow?
