Only cos no fecker works during the day. I worked there this year and trying to get anything done during certain hours is a joke. Plus no-one spoke English, couldn't buy fags anywhere and they shut the office on Wednesday and wouldn't let me in. No wonder it took weeks to get their system up and running (normal time - 1 week.) Weather was nice though.Originally posted by AlfredJPruffockMadrid - the only city in the summer where you the streets are packed at 3am on a Wednesday morning

New York, most exciting city in the world. Spent 4 years there and can honestly say there wasn't a minute of it where I was bored.

I had a couple of Lock Ins in at one of the Pubs in Shildon while working in Darlington. It's fair to say that the guy on the piano stop playing the first time we cam through the door, but by the end of the first night we had the Landlord giving us his 'cocktails' free and offering hooky DVDs for nought. Very hospitable folk.

Groningen, Holland, very relaxed working atmosphere and don't quite friendly. Unlike on most UK sites where contractors are looked upon as overpaid idiots.
