Docklands. Anyone there?

[wendigo100]

at any time i'll have around 5k of smoked wild salmon in the freezer.

5000 salmon or 5000 quids worth?

oops, 5kg

I'm sat in one of towers in the Docklands at the moment.

The place is tulip - full of odious, pin-stripe wearing c*nts who's only goal in life is to make more money than they know what to do with, and the only conversation they have is to talk about how much money they have.

W*nkers.

But I have worked in Croydon, in a slum called B-Block above the Whitgift, and it can't be worse than that, can it?

You poor soul. I worked just across the road from there (for a few months only, thankfully) and you are right - Canary Wharf cannot possibly be worse than that.

I can also vouch that there is nowhere worse than B block above the Whitgift - shudder at the memory of it

Chico works as a janitor in one of the buildings there. See if you can find him and have a chat. It will give you a whole new appreciation of conversations with pin-stripe wearing c*nts who's only goal in life is to make more money than they know what to do with.

That's all true, but I've been stuck on projects based in remote business parks - or in the middle of no where (e.g. Barclays in Knutsford) I hated being so remote

That used to be Rathbone Hall when my father worked there for The Nuclear Power Group- Idyllic location although as you say a bit in the middle of no where.

I forgot the "sic".

Are there a lot of parks and fields in that area ? I haven't been to the Docklands, but I have some sort of idea that it is like a Cambridge Science Park....all high-tech, glass and steel, surrounded by sculpted fields for the worker to have their sandwiches in at lunchtime, feed the deer, etc.

There are a couple REALLY small areas (cabot place etc) and the areas that are open (old London Arena and the plot by the water front) that SHOULD be developed as parkland are all having multi-story flats built on them.

The only real open space is Mud Chute Park, but thats a bit out of the way for a Wharf worker who only has a 5 minute break for lunch.
