'86 to 2001
Started in TCDU, then via Computer Ops (I think we were called) ended up being TUPE'd over to Xerox in '96 but stayed in Amex House until (keeeeerching) redundancy in 2001.
Loving all the reminders of that day, as it seems so long ago, and I was very very pissed, I don't remember much about it now. Remember getting back to Brighton about 7am in a taxi from Reading services wondering why I had loads of scratches down both arms. A mate reminded me I'd climbed to...
Mea Culpa.
I just posted the 7pm thing as I got an invite from a mate via facebook. It looks like there may be 2 shindigs going on for the same reason, at the same place, on the same date, but the one I got via facebook definately stated 7pm :shrug:
I imagine most of them have been outsourced to IBM by now! However, I have also received a facebook invite to this from someone I know that used to work there, so I'm guessing many of them already know.

Another one here that was in "that minibus" for the Hereford game. Not many of you will know me as I hardly knew anyone that was in it to be honest, but a day not to be forgotten. God knows how drunk I got that day. Just remember forking out a share of something like £130 to get a taxi back...
Shocking news indeed Bombardier. That Hereford day was one I shall certainly never ever forget and you are right, Martyn's name often crops up during reminiscence.
RIP Martyn.
