Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) in Ayr. Shit wages but got paid to learn computer plumbing and to speak 'Broad Ayrshire', or at least understand some of it. They had moisturiser in pump dispensers in the toilets. Remember being told by a gruff ex-miner to use the stuff as the de-humidified air i...

Looks like Glasgow is about to become a lot smarter.

Been glued to France 24 recently for the youthfully authoritarian voice of Hanah Moffat.

Just curious if anyone on HG uses those Groupon offer/vouchers for discounts on things? No, but suspect one day they will be as welcome as Borders gift vouchers.
