There are loads of lotuses and mercedes at Crawley Court - and at the Newport office I've counted Audi S3s, Honda S2000s and even a new BMW M3 (registration plate HAX?) - these people are technical admins iirc.

Hrm how many of the impressive cars at Crawley are owned by ntl employees and how many by Arquiva I wonder.
There are some semi-technical departments in Hook which are vastly overpaid and overtrained considering the rather dubious results they consistently turn out which have to be corrected by other less well paid departments to actually work. (Yes ntl you can send these guys on all the courses in the world and pay them stupid amounts, doesn't make them good at what they do!)
Since my job change I've been on more courses (in 2.5 weeks) than I was in a year with ntl, I'm paid more, respected more, work in a more pleasant environment where there's more to life than just stats.
Also there are two company sponsored drinkies sessions coming up.
ntl is in my opinion a poor employer, with little respect for the majority of its' staff. A small section pretty much universally based at Hook love it, though they might as well work for a different company to the rest of us, we saw none of the perks, etc they did and were paid considerably less even those who were more technically experienced and skilled.
