Why working in a call centre isn't all that bad

Recent statistics produced by job site Adzuna.co.uk show's that not only are call centre jobs in the UK abundant, they are also above average in the national pay scale.

The site currently advertises over 10,000 call centre jobs in the UK (and the number is climbing) with big cities like London, Manchester and Birmingham with the lion share of the jobs. Call Centre jobs in Liverpool rank number 7 on the list with 93 open vacancies. The site currently shows 884 jobs over £35k per annum, surprising given the low wage stigma attached to telesales and customer support.

Qype: The Sussex in London

London - Eating & Drinking - Pubs & Bars - Pubs


This pub is a good people watching spot if you can get a seat outside. You're in the heart of Covent garden here, so plenty look at. The interior is fairly generic and don't expect Michelin star cooking. I suppose this pub does what it says on the tin - cold lager, reasonably friendly folk and a standard (perhaps a bit touristy) menu. Speaking of which, think twice about going here in August. This place is heaving during the summer months!
