Hey Saintaw,
I see in your sig line that you are from Swindon. My flatmate has just learned that there is a possibility that he might get an overseas job there with his company.
So my question is.....should he jump off a bridge now, or give the new job a chance? I'm just kidding of course. How big/small is Swindon? The closest I have been is to Bath or Warminister and he keeps asking me my opinion and I have no idea what to tell him about Swindon.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Is he going to work with Intel/Cisco or honda ? ---> these are the 3 major companies in Swindon (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Tell him to come if he plans a steady career, is already married & is not used to cities like London...
250.000 poeple here, it's pretty much like Bath exept the architecture & the American tourists (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
It's 1 hour Drive from Oxford or Bath, so commuting is ok or even escaping during week ends is feasible (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

He works for Lucent. Apparently they have an R&D lab there. It looks like it will be a 2 year assignment. This works really well for me because I have not been to the UK in over 2 years and I need to work on getting my passport filled up for the free toaster.

Rofl ! I live with a guy that works at Lucent (Meaning I am renting a room in a house during the week...).
That's in West Swindon, tell him to find a flat in Central or Old Town...West Swindon is..........unsafe.
