Aren't there any good jobs in Oxford, Robbo?
Also, not sure if they would have jobs you might be interested in, but try ACNielsen as well.

Well... I have an interview for the 1st job.. its with Kraft Foods (as in Kraft slices, Kenco, Maxwell House, Vegemite!, Philadelphia) as Commercial Analyst looking at about £30k pa + benefits
Whys that then mate?
Soz if that came across as a bit grrrrr (read my sig)
Our 'finance' manager recently refused me a software upgrade (which would have made me more efficient and cost effective) whilst signing himself a cheque for his own software to make him more efficient at analysing my performance.
How can you justify that?
I sometimes get the impression that these sort of people forget that people like me pay their wages

I want to have our finance managers babies tbh.
As part of his role he is part of the senior management team (read neckless idiots)
At one management meeting he decides that he has too much work on so proposes he takes on an assistant.
The result?
He gives himself a payrise because he is now managing staff 
Fcukwit.
