You got it!

I'm not joking!

As a shareholder in National Grid I trust they make a charge for contractor parking

Never worked for the Grid but did share the building while at Accenture a few years back. Parking was flipping rotten but you could park on the road of the estate. otherwise for Accenture it was a trot down to an overflow public park that used to flood...

Nice building and loads of rabbits all over the place if you get in early
