Morning all, blimey Loz; Lowestoft is the sleepy fluff filled navel of the UK. It takes forever to get anywhere from there, are you sure that is where you want to end up?
Not sure what I’ll do today but it will involve seeing more than the study.
Have fun all...
When working in the UK broken coil springs were almost a daily occurrence especially MOT testing in New Zealand for 4 years never saw a broken one.Morning all, recycle bin today
Yesterday was gardening jobs, today is car jobs although finding the BMW with a broken spring yesterday was a surprise
Didn't quite make FoD - May Hill instead, but had a stop overlooking it - pic doesn't quite do it justice, - its quite reminisant of Black ForestThat's where I spent most of my childhood the Forest of Dean. . St Brievals to be exact.

Morning, denizens of SportsMaserati. Started sunny, cloudy now, due to brighten up again later.
We're keeping our office in London closed until the end of June and planning for a far more home-oriented way of life after that. We'll need to keep some meeting space and likely there will be a number of people who simply prefer working in an office, but our future business as unusual will involve a much lower expectation of being in a traditional office. Suits me fine. I've been nomadic / home-based for years.
I think this will be the norm for many businesses, and all the better for it.
The challenge will be as churn in teams happens, maintaining (or even forging) a new team remotely is a challenge that most are ill prepared for. **** most leaders can't create a good team when everyone's in the office.

Don't disagree with that proposition at all but be aware that some will loose their London weighting allowance if they are not London based any more!
My eldest is hoping to move (new mortgage) before losing hers...

Leaf springs on Utes was a different story though.
Fair point. I'd hope that the sort of companies that provide a London weighting will acknowledge that employees will still live in the same area. I'm guessing many people will still be expected to be in the office from time to time for meetings and other fun stuff; although commuting costs could come down, being in the office 3x per week costs around the same as an annual season ticket.
It's not so much just about living, but the cost associated to working regularly in London. I used to get a London weighting, but lived well outside. Travel though was something like £17 plus fuel. Per day

A peak-time return from oot 'ere, boy, that'll set you back the fat end o' sixty quid. Plus shoe leather.
Aye. But you're driving an Aston

Only because I don't buy a season ticket to go to London every day.
