    Yek! Just worked out the year - 1995 - I was working for ICL at the time and managed the ICL helpdesk there.

    I bet there were quite a few people who 'used the tunnel'
    Is it still blue and yellow?

    Hmmm...sure my "boss" got done for something similar around 1999. Wonder if it was the same person.

    Probably told the wife he had a good day in the office until about the time he was frog marched out of the office.

    I worked in Matheson/Boyd/Reynolds and St James between 98-01. That tunnel was something else.

    Cap Gemini are are different company and have a big building right next to the one EDS occupy. I think EDS lost some govt work to Cap Gemini or something recently - you may be thinking of that. EDS is still alive and well in the big blue mini-skyscraper building in Telford.
