The UK isn't what it used to be

  • Article

All because I left, I guess ;) So (IMHO), one of the great things about the TechNet evenings on the Microsoft UK Campus in Reading was the availability of beer & pizza at the break. (Of course, before I get blasted with comments about encouraging alcohol... soft drinks were available too). There was one downside to it in that the beer was pretty fizzy - burping during the second half while amplified through a radio mic did tend to make the 8-9PM slot more interesting sometimes....   But no, I just noticed in a TechNet Flash newsletter from last month, no more pizza, just sandwiches and licensing laws are forcing this to be soft drinks only. Oh well, at least I've got a beer fridge in my office over here :)

Cheers,
John.
