I feel left out on these threads, as I have never worked outside of the Sq Mile, in the UK.

Your missing out. It's great OOP Norf.

None of those - Its IBM

I thought you had worked in Crewe (shudder) / Stoke (shudder, shudder)

Crewe is ok so long as you are on the Sandbach/Nantwich side away from the centre.....

Stoke is a good call though.

How to entice a contractor into a permie position

I assume by "permie position" you mean bent over? It's easy. Just drop a £20 on the floor in front of them.

Surely B'ham is the mother of all s**tholes?

Try having a walk around Telford's 'Town Center'. The birth rate for under 18's is around +30% the national average. Literacy is about the lowest.

A young woman I worked with told me a first pregnancy for a woman over 23 meant she was considered a 'mature' new mother.

Telford? Luxury!

Try Skelmersdale, every pathway a muggers paradise...

[bless 'em all]

I have never seen so many young, single GIRLS pushing prams, nor so many unappealing people in general.

and the share offers and weekly flights to the state and the health care when you break down

Hotels and flights won't kill you but the free breakfasts and evening booze might.

Offer 200k a year and sometimes it's hard to turn done

Was wondering through the town yesterday and some of the sights you see are truly astonishing. I have never seen so many young, single GIRLS pushing prams, nor so many unappealing people in general.

This was coming from working in Weybridge, where walking around there, you would always be pleasantly surprised.

I have no idea why people hate the place. I like it here. The only thing that it lacks is a range of nightclubs but as I have kids now it does not really affect me.
