It's more than started on t'other side though.....

Yep lots of peeps sitting round me working knackers off, bob included

Also when I was at Coop earlier this year it was Bob free.....

Eh? Most of the Development and Testing work is done in India by Steria and the Finacle stuff they never got working was all Infosys.

Steria? We tried to get in Arndale due to lack of desks at the CIS Tower, but after six months it never happened! Each morning started with desk searching floor by floor usually ending up on the 7th or 8th - 24 all told...

Deffo no Bob's tho, I was on AIX for CFS and Britannia and I was told bob's had been tried and gone.....

No I was a bit higher up (11th IIRC). We had Bobs there, 4 or 5 sat on a bank of 3 desks. Break out area was a no go on a lunchtime unless you enjoyed the aroma of microwaved curry

Me too, but in Arndale.

Agree with you about the state of readiness (or lack of it)

The ones that used to Cheltenham and Gloucester or TSB.

Hmmm, locally to me there was a branch of Lloyds and and branch of TSB, when they merged they kept the physical location of the Lloyds branch but gave all new account the TSB sort code. Guess its just wait and see time

I finished at the Coop a few months ago believe me they've not even started!! In fact when I went the talk was of the the deal not going through.

The first rule of Project ***** is, you do not talk about Project *****

Have you ever considered starting your own newspaper and calling it 'Last Years News' ?

By the time you get your CV in, the bulk of the work will be long since completed.

You might pick up the odd gig changing signs above branch doors, if you're quick
