    St Katherine's Dock, Wapping. Apart from the EXCITING ride to Waterloo Station in th evenings, I've discovered that this area is great in the summer for a strollaround, if you are an aficionado if ladie's "F*ck Me" shoes.

    Saw a pair of Jimmy Choo stunners this lunchtime atached to a particularly photogenic pair of legs… 8)

    Worthless without pics Mr Woppit.

    I like the people I work with, other than management. I don't like the work, so I'm working my notice. Happy times!

    Flexitime.

    Just the right distance from home to ride in, far enough to actually keep my legs ticking over, not so far I die in winter.

    The job does, in some small roundabout way, add benefit to society.

    i work on a site where about 2800 are employed.

    assume half of them are women. assume 10% of them are good looking women. Assume 10% of them are REALLY good looking women.

    I have at least 14 awesome girls in my office today. 8)

    I'm in Barnsley, surrounded by people with a somewhat flexible view of reality (on a professional basis). What's not to like? Oh and Woppit, God's watching you ogle them there ladies and their fancy shoes, and every time you do it, he strangles a kitten 😉

    Its a reasonable riding distance from home. The company pays for our 5-a-side football on a Monday.
    The actual town is one of the biggest shiteholes in the South though (Gosport). All the women wear tracky bottoms and white trainers. (Apart from the fat ones – they wear miniskirts and boobtubes

    The best thing is the view:

    And the lack of any commute.

    Don't see many women apart from my wife – suits me.

    I work for a big FE college. Hours are good, pay is decent and my position is pretty well insulated against job cuts.

    The very best bit is living 8 miles away on the coast. My ride home goes through the woods on a traffic free route and there's miles and miles of singletrack to play on. Today I will be leaving early, taking a hour to ride the trails on the way home and meeting my wife and kids on the beach for a bbq with friends.

    what's not to like? 🙂

    I work in Warrington.

    Luxury..! I work near Irlam.

    On the upside, the commute through the countryside twice a day makes up for it.

    Minimal totty here, but I suspect I don't register on any lady-radars either.

    I get to make nice shiny bike bits so it's like being a kid in a sweet shop. Jobs are done on my bike for free and I get to see lots of new stuff. My local trails are very good and also very quiet – not bad at all 😉

    I live on one side of Cannock Chase; I work on the other. My commute on the bike is ace! Twice a day I have the terrible decision of which way to go…

    The best bit about my work is that at the moment Steve Peat is razzing his bike down a hill 5 minutes drive away from where I'm sitting 🙂

    The location sucks, an industrial area in Milton Keynes has little going for it. The company has it's perks though and the people are all pretty cool.
