I used to work in Amex House.

I hated it so I left

I'm working hard for redundancy. We can all dream.

I used to work with Rory Clarke and knew Rod very well. One of my jobs was statement review.

Statement review, damn now that does take me back, I almost feel nostalgic.

I have not worked there, however the spec for the new data centre is not going to last very long.

I have never worked there but I have an umbrella for rainy days.

Very well, Rod Clarke was in the year above me at St Pauls and I remember Derek. There was the driver guy too but the rest you'll need to remind me of. We had a lot to do with them a part of our job was to do the mailing of the billings. Did you ever see those machines ? Visitors would be far more interested in the Bell and Howell than any of the IBM Computer gear. My claim to fame was that I was the first person to use an IBM 1275 OCR reader sorter, something that really belongs in the past !

AHH THE OLD 1275 RELPACED BY THE 3890'S DO YOU REMEMBER KEVIN BARRY AT ST PAULS GAVE ME THE SLIPPER!!!!!! DID MY TIME IN STATEMENT REVIEW WITH S/L MARY DREW

Kevin Barry, bit of a fanatical Catholic but a damn good teacher, his death was more than just a little tragic. Yes, the 3890s were long after my time though. Funnily enough OCR went but came back in (in a rather different guise) when PCs arrived. I wonder how much that old and pointless 'Country Club' system of returning ROCS to account holders cost Amex over the years. I can't believe they do it now.

I did my time there.....TUPE'd to IBM backin 2003. I remember Pasty and co. Rod and Rory and the CBO guys. They were mostly good times and would go back if the right role came up but has to be said, you can get quite institutionalised at that place!
