    It's both head office and registered office. It's where they keep all the design and business types; things like warehousing and logistics for the retail store and catalogue operations are elsewhere.

        The Plough up the road used to be good in the Eighties; it seems to have gone all lahdidah-gastropub nowadays. The New Inn on the High Street also used to be good, but it's many years since I was last there. Looks OK on StreetView

                  Just remember what I told you.

                  1) Dont correct your bosses grammar during the briefing meeting
                  2) Do remember to test on old versions of IE before deployment
                  3) Dont keep saying 'it's user error'
                  4) Dont stay up all night posting on CUK
                  5) and for gods sake don't punch anyone out!
                  6) Don't forget to take a defibrillator with you.

                  Congrats btw.

                    Congrats.

                    If it's a web dev role, which it sounds like, you must have walked the interview.
