I was back in the office the next day and got a call to say - oh by the way we are making all the Manchester office redundant. I spent the next 4 weeks dealing with baliffs etc turning up and taking all the office equipment. It was a fun time I just let them in - made them brews and let them take what they wanted.

Its so grim

I just heard that some of the new staff have been put up in hotels on half pay until there were enough of them in situ to make today happen
