Oi Colin!

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Are you in control?

[FleetFanatic]

Sort of - not in London one (Service Delivery Centre) - we have localised offices too (Local Train Service Co-ordinator).

 

So it is me, myself and I controlling this area.....

That's a cushy little earner!!! I like it <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Do you get any overnight 'incidents'? I dunno, graffiti artists in a station or something?

Don't know about my silverlink counterpart but I have station staff for that sort of thing.

Especially handy from bringing cups of tea round. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I take it you're both on a decent 5 figure sum as well, say about £25K... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

I guess I'm suppost to watch the cameras overnight but bollox to that!

I'm in the SDC, we have a kitchen, dartboard, SKY digital, internet and championship manager on the computer, we also have the pleasure of as much fried chicken as we can eat in Harlesden High Street.

 

With overtime, over £25K

Kitchen in office next door, cm4 on the pc, platform staff cook a meal on nights! :-) However there is the town centre accross the bridge with the delights of KFC, McDonalds, Burger King & Wimpy all for the taking.....

.....oh and I'd agree with the salary statement - very poor year if that was all I had earnt.

Who do I apply to....? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> North London,Bucks and Herts is best... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

[FleetFanatic]

I'm in Kent & I live 7/8 miles from where I work.....

 

9 or 15 minutes by train station to station (depends on which train) - my record by train and bus is 15 minutes! (I came out of the station and just made the bus which was empty all the way to my house!)

 

Couldn't beat that time in a car.....

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

It takes between 30 mins and 45 mins from St.Albans to Willesden Junction.

Harlesden town centre is the most rubbish ever, although we do have a McDonalds everything else is 50p and £1 shops, fried chicken and pizza places - CZ would love it here <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

In fact I may pop down in a minute, I've been chewing gum for hours as I spent all afternoon in the pub and now It's made me hungrey

I'm not joking, I've done so many English towns thru football,gigging etc..., but nowhere is worse than a place called Bilston in the Black Country.Newsagents with nothing in 'em,no shops you've ever heard of apart from Woolies,1 road I saw about 100 houses, only 11 of them weren't boarded up and just 8/9 cars! What a s***hole. It makes Lewisham look good...!!!!

Proof that poverty really does exist in the UK. Shocking! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

I can believe it. With the odd exception (York,Scotland!) the further north you go...

Any comments cynic/mdetaylor?

[FleetFanatic]

From where I am, Essex is north so I can well believe it too!

Been there!! Went there the season we won the Trophy! Some old boy in a Stetson Hat wouldn't let us out the bar, cause we had press passes!! They played in Tangerine too, we won, it was a Trophy match - we passed Villa Park on the way there and returned in May to lift the Trophy.

One of the most depressing places I've been to is Wigan. Loads of boarded up houses, shops, even a boarded up pub! Very depressing.

 

Wigan's ground is situated in a retail estate in the middle of nowhere beside a canal. The only pub within walking distance was a traditional family pub with no SKY TV. The area is seriously bleak although the ground is very impressive.

Just think West Ham could be playing there next season!!

not been to the new grd
but as for wigan have to disagree
5 min drive and great countryside ,,standish/haigh hall where the food was better than the Ivy

good people,plus home of one of the greatest sporting sides ever
and was home to one of the greatest nightclubs as well

[Northern Monkey]

Ah the Casino

[MK James]

 

I've done Wigan 3 or 4 times, it's not all bad, town centre looks quite nice. Agreed about the ground though, if they'd made it 10000 less capacity then they might generate some atmosphere.

 

Oldham and Hartlepool are nothing to talk about though <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
