    Norwich Union

    A friend of mine who works there told me about this:

    http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Norwich_Union

    Kind of sort of near to the truth...

    I was there for 6 years until last March. It's obviously gone downhill since then...

        I was a permie, so obviously just keeping my head down, working out when to go contracting.

          Norwich? Bowels of Hell?

          It used to have a nice market place with the smell of roasting coffee wafting over from one of the shops. Probably a coffee shop.

            The fact that no-one can be arsed to build a motorway near Norwich should tell you something.

              I am sure Norwich Union make sure it doesn't happen so they can hold the city to ransom.

              Now they are closing more offices across the country and moving more Norwich city staff out to the buildings that overlook the sewerage works.

              Class!

                The problem with Norwich and pretty much Norfolk in general is that you don't have to go through it to get anywhere, which is why there's no motorways. Lovely place though, Norfolk, I wouldn't have chosen to be born anywhere else.

                    re: offshoring... so true!
                    Also, should anyone have this misfortune of having to use them, the results are invariably late, don’t work, and are nothing like what was asked for in the first place.
