That's good because I have 3 sockets and if I plug my modem into master socket or one in living room I loose up to 3/4 of a meg the office upstairs is the best one and its a brand new house

If it's a new house I can almost guarantee it is star wired. You'll learn how to remove star wiring, and turn one of those other sockets into the master socket with an SSFP fitted.

When i last went it had a good gym and sauna to work all the food and beer off .

Have been reading through this thread most politely, all very informative. However what I cannot let be posted without commenting is the above.

You SO didn't use the gym or the sauna did you bert !!!




I've been there a few times, it's always been OK, 'cept I always get a room vacated by the sweatiest jointer on the whole company. The food was good.

Good luck in your new role project x. Work hard, learn lots, and don't let the stats drag you down.

Yes i so did back in the day ! even play a game of football once and i hate football. Its being stuck in one place all day and not moving about that does it , god knows how people put up with being in a office all day 5 days a week .

Is there anything to do there at night while doing training . Spoke to a engineer the other day who said he got moved up to Leeds after a couple of weeks

Some people go to the pub but there's also a bar onsite.

It's possible some of your training may be in other places. It's just Yarnfield is the biggest so you'll likely be there the most. There's also training rooms in some of the larger telephone exchanges and I know there's a training centre in Harrogate, Croydon too (I think).

Years since i last went so dont know about now but was only gym , onsite bar and one off site pub if you have no car. Last i heard you had to take your works van ? if so you are stuck there !

ps not 100% about the works van and as you are a new start you may not have a van when you go there.

They do some training at Croydon as its were i did my last training.
