    No 'bites the dust'

    Just another player in the corporate merry-go-round.

    Paris because even she could do a better job that some of these 'C' level execs.

    Just hang on in there, Capita!

    There's bound to be some juicy government contracts coming up because of a need to impede things currently moving freely: people, goods, services, patents …

      I used to work in the early 00s with a guy who turned up and said to me he he used to work for Arthur Andersen Accountants. The others couldn't understand why I was giving him slightly shocked looks .... I'm not sure even he understood why there would be anything at all interesting in that ;)

      Yep, Brexit has been great for the exporters who don't import raw materials or fuel. The FTSE is up. 3% inflation by 2017 end is good for savers and mortgages are too cheap anyway. The Pound has been overvalued since the mid-70's anyway. The banks were always going to Frankfurt. Nissans are crap. Everything's coming up roses.

    Holely incorrect

    "A Capita mouthpiece said..."

    Given the company, surely that's the wrong end of the alimentary canal?

    I live in Barnet

    ......AKA the London Borough of Capita.

    I hardly need to say any more than that, really, but clearly their business model is to persuade gullible organisations that they can provide the same service cheaper, then provide a poorer service at same or greater cost, by subcontracting their work to as small a number of people as they can get away with without actually leaving their offices so empty that squatters move in.
