Part of my new job means writing some test jobs for a new computer system being implemented in July (though what year that will be still to be determined) So far I have invented clients with surnames of: Cooper, Burley, Mills, Talbot, Hunter, Beattie, Osbourne, Wark and Mariner All using IP1 2AN as their post code and all with email addresses that end @itfclegends.com Working in Epsom with folks who are aged 36 and under they ain't gonna have a clue. Oh and I discovered the urban legend to be true, three of my Surrey born and bred colleagues are die hard Manure fans... This week I am to visit my teams near Heathrow and "Blackpool" - a hang over from its previous location, it's actually in a PR post code and is rightfully referred to as Preston by the car delivery companies. Especially looking forward to seeing one of my Blackpool supporting team to congratulate him, by one of life's strange quirks I used to work in the same building as his mother 26 years ago. At which time my colleagues and I regularly attended a run down old Bloomfield Road to watch an exciting Blackpool team managed by Sam Allerdyce... Ever heard of him? | |
