Like I said, min of £1K a day for them scum-suckers.

I wouldn't want to add to their directors bonus by getting them out of any holes for sending work offshore.

Contractor Accommodation Services

I used a company called Contractor Accommodation Services who were fantastic.

They sorted me out a hotel in Norwich (getting 30% off the rate I could get) and is a free service.

They then sorted me out a serviced apartment for 20% less.

Nice people too. Think they do all over the UK - highly recommend them. Website is www.wedotherest.com - think I should ask them for some comission!?

Hope this is helpful

Our specialist and dedicated lettings agents look to shoulder the stressful and time consuming process of finding appropriate short term lets and are able to utilise our extensive database of self-catering accommodation to secure:

studios,
flats and serviced apartments,
maisonettes and houses
bungalows
cottages
luxury mansions.

I see that Threaded has used them in the past then.

They didn't outsource all of their IT to India, just the important bits.

The wonker managers decided that Life Insurance ie death claims would be a good one to send over there also. Imagine, you just lost a loved one, you're upset, you're worried, you've got enough to deal with and who do you get on the end of the phone?

Their 'service desk' is over there also, so what, once used to take one call to fix now takes about 10, hurrah.

I don't think any of the wonkers got sacked for that one either.

Strange place.

And people buy their products from NU? Serves them right.

Well, I did try to get some car insurance from them and got someone who couldn't speak english, I asked for someone else, they wouldn't. I asked to speak with the underwriter (you always used to be able to do this) they refused. So I went elsewhere...

Thank you html, for one of the only replies that was even remotely helpful!!!

Went onto www.wedotherest.com as advised.

Very helpful bunch and have secured a guest house for 1 month and a darn sight cheaper than when I called to do it myself!

Recommend, recommend, recommend.

BTW, I have had shocking experiences with NU and their car insurance. I, like Lucy, went elsewhere - MBNA of all places, very cheap!!
