            I worked for a year in Swindon, stayed in a flat in the old town. Karaoke once a week, 5-a-side another night..survived it..just.
            Worked there for FS client for 6 weeks once when employed by a Big 4 co. Highlight for me was the week the Swindon hotels were full and I had to stay in Bath instead

              That reminds me of a contract I did for a well known UK company that runs attractions. Went over to Germany and stayed in a Pirate themed room at the attraction there, complete with bunk beds made into a pirate ship

                True, but isn't there a combination code, changed daily, which one must enter into a roadside keypad to open barriers going in or out.
