    I agree, at least not the bits I've seen. You haven't got to go far outside though.

          Warrington then??

          I am currently on a gig in Skemersdale, its an 75min each way from Glossop. Which is OK I guess, though about the longest I have done. My last few contracts have been on this side anyway.

          True about Glossop and traffic, the jam's are pretty much non-stop now. But the views are nice once you get there!
          Politicians are wonderfull people, as long as they stay away from things they don't understand, like working for a living!

            About 10 mins from Skem, junction of the M58/M6. I hadn't lived Up Nth for 15 years and was surprised how many Co's have moved their IT from the South East to beautiful industrial unit locations on the M6/M62/M58. Trouble is the traffic is a nightmare now ! When they stop building 'luxury' apartments things might improve, half the traffic at 7am are builders on their way to Manc and L'pool.
