Well I'm not gay!
Unlikely though, I'm in testing and haven't encountered any eastern european whippersnappers.
And I'm leaving of my own accord rather than as a result of "the cull".

The Anglian region is lovely, apart from the vampires, prositute-killing psychos and the tedious monotony of the flat-as-a-bastard pancake landscape.

I was passed a contract gig with them around this time last year, as a mate of mine was leaving, pay was not all that bad, 600/700 per day and I even talked myself and the family into the whole idea of living near* (i.e. Cambridge way - lest one decide to work back in the city at a later date for whatever reasons) and I seem to recall only the documentary about the Norwich teen "girls" who all seemed pregnant at 17 and Steve Coogan's "Now-witch" which kind of put me off, that and the fact that an Indian consultancy was chosen instead within a week they (the consultancy that is) was posting on metalink for help.

I'm on the penultimate day of a contract with them, here in sunny Norwich.
I'll pass on the link to the permies

re: offshoring... so true!
Also, should anyone have this misfortune of having to use them, the results are invariably late, don’t work, and are nothing like what was asked for in the first place.

Now they are closing more offices across the country and moving more Norwich city staff out to the buildings that overlook the sewerage works.
Class!

The problem with Norwich and pretty much Norfolk in general is that you don't have to go through it to get anywhere, which is why there's no motorways. Lovely place though, Norfolk, I wouldn't have chosen to be born anywhere else.

Norwich? Bowels of Hell?
It used to have a nice market place with the smell of roasting coffee wafting over from one of the shops. Probably a coffee shop.

I was a permie, so obviously just keeping my head down, working out when to go contracting.
