No, just a public service to a fellow contractor.
Yes it was Life of Brian.

BTW, did I guess correctly about the "Life of Brian" reference in your other post?

Incidentally, if you think Aylesbury is grey and ugly, wait until you've done Croydon. And B-block in the Home Office (above the Whitgift centre) is the most utterly depressing building I have ever worked in. It was even worse than the draughty portakabin in Stuttgart I was stuck in during mid-winter. This had leaking sewage pipes under the floor, necessitating permanently open windows in minus 10 degrees and the wearing of thick coats. I call that my "Himmler's Revenge" contract.

Much as I love my country and all I'm amazed the not a single Scottish town made it on the list. Classic example of english bias yet again ...
Apart from the weather of course. I was there throughout the "summer".
True, I stayed in the Hilton and mostly frequented the city centre in the evenings, but I did pass through Govan when I went running.

What's more interesting are towns that are different from their surrounding region:
Aylesbury - grey and ugly
Bridgwater (Somerset) - deserted - like the Wild West.

It was very biased to all locals near to kirsty and phil. I was surprised then that they had Harrogate as one of the best places seeing as it's more than 25 miles from the M25. I'd say they don't know the UK very well at all!
How could ashford be one of the best places? Bizzare

probably because however bad the place is in Scotland, the people's lovely accents make up for it and make it a nice wee place to live...
