      Regardless of the client I wouldn't work at Barclays in Knutsford again for gold bars (well maybe, but it would have to be a lot) the place is depressing I used to work there with Accidenture, we used to call it the village of the damned, it's just full of badly paid Barclays permies who are counting down the days till their pensions, very depressing.
      Some people are like slinkys, totally pointless but the thought of pushing them down a flight of stairs never fails to put a smile on your face.

        But aren't the vast majority of places like that? I think I've worked in 1 client over the last 5 years where I'd say that case didn't apply.

          Yep, many places 'out of the way' are like that.

          Taunton being another prime example...
          It's about time I changed this sig...

            You've obviously been there, 3 miles from anywhere and nothing to do at lunch other than watch the squirrels...

                Was OK when I was up there, mind you I only did a few days doing a handover.

                    Did you never discover the gym, squash courts, playing fields, putting green, bowling green, tennis courts and five-aside pitches or the pub over the road?

                    The there's the Beer Festivals. Well, they don't have them any more for some strange reason.

                      The Getronics guys there are all top guys. Run by muppets from all accounts, but the team themselves are sound people with good skills.

                      They used to be Barclays permie people before Getronics took over.
