Originally posted by GlenW View PostMy last few contracts have been in Leeds, South Shields, Newburn, Benton, Stockton on Tees and Houghton le Spring. Apart from Leeds, they are candidates for where God will stick the tube when he decides to give the world an enema. So, I rarely walked anywhere and the best route was the quickest one out of there.
At least now I get to WFH a couple of days a week so the walk from the kitchen after breakfast to my office via the bog for a dump isn't too bad.Comment

Anyone worked at Nestlé in Vevey, Switzerland?
Lovely walk to the office along Lake Geneva from many of the local hotels in the area. Great views of the French Alps on a clear day.Comment

I'm in Sydney. Just now the walk is through Redfern and then Darling Harbour. The former was traditionally run down, the place Aborigines live and with a lot of crime and drug problems. Now it is a mix. Part gentrified, part not. I walk past the Aboriginal tent embassy every day - it seems to be mostly made up of white people with dreadlocks.
I've seen some funny sights in Redfern. Trade union rallies round campfires, a high as a kite man in just his underpants walking around arms flailing, a woman dressed in PVC tarted up like a prostitute who was carting a big suitcase and looking lost (I helped her carry it for a bit), young guys rapping on the street, hipsters. Lots and lots of hipsters.
Then Darling Harbour which is tourist central. Often there are commercial events and it's all clean, corporate, tourist friendly fun.
Really like my walk to work.
In the past I used to love walking over the Millenium Bridge with St Pauls in front or walks alongside the Bristol floating harbour.Comment

One clientco walk I had was very evocative, the heavy stench of exotic spices, the unfamiliar jabber of Hindi and other strange tongues, shiit all over the road, mad drivers, and dark-skinned people teeming everywhere.....
I don't live in Bolton anymore though.
