    Bye bye Radbroke Hall. Nostalgia thread.

    Barclays axeing another 420 IT roles mostly from Radbroke Hall. Surely the writing's on the wall for a site I'm sure lots of us have earnt well from in the past.

    Who was at the infamous "Barclays Bonk" beer festival? The Stocks on Friday lunchtime? Croquet? Drinks in the Shed?

    Happy days. Our loss is Vilnius' gain. Think it's time to shut my accounts in protest.

          no it wasnt.

          the squash court was indoors. the bonking incident was outdoors.
          and so was the tree

            Went for an interview there once but hit the bar and didn't net the rebound. Seems like I really did miss out.

              I'll give you the tree but the bonking was definitely in the squash court. The security guards put up signs offering tapes for sale from the CCTV coverage (these got taken down very quickly).
