Anyone at M&S?

I did a stint at M&S Stockley Park some years ago - eventually some head bobbers took over the core infrastructure support, they left some poor UK manager in charge to oversee the transition and almost from day one there were "issues" ... in the end I had to feel sorry for him trying to polish a turd but couldn't help but feel he was being set up
I'd heard they eventually bought the support function back to the UK after 18 months
Memories of M&S...
The bus shuttle to and from Paddington was a great place to have a nap / kill some time - being stuck in London traffic and being paid for it... nice
M&S stationary cupboard was well worth looting
Paddington office was a nice place to hold lots of meetings
Totty in the Paddington office was worth the visitHow fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't thinkComment
