    Mmmmm. Your interview wasn't around 4pm by any chance? There was a late day sell off in AZN on Friday.

    AtW reminded me that I'm not allowed to say anything, like, for example, 'Short the Frack out of this sucker on Monday'; so I won't.

    Oh blimey, staying away isn't an option - the travel is fine really, but it will be v long days and hard work seeing slightly less of my boy. All for the greater good though.

    No Boudica, Midlands based. Am about 60 miles from client, so slightly anxious about motherhood vs travel.

    I've done that, too. Cig went under bum - it's hard to drive without your bum on the driving seat.

    Congrats.

    Wish I could find a role in cheshire. I wouldn't have to do the Monday to Friday thing in London then. Nevertheless, best of luck.
