The London Centric team needed an affordable workplace solution today, somewhere that wouldn’t have issues with us sitting on laptops all day but also had lots of desks and on-hand supplies of coffee, food and strong WiFi. Anyway, welcome to WFCC (work from county cricket). - ThreadSky

What's going on here... 👀

Err, interesting research on that laptop?

Blame Henry Mance

tom-phillips.com•6 days ago

can you tell the Surrey bowlers to try taking a wicket

jim.londoncentric.media•6 days ago

I’ll be honest we’ve mainly been doing bulk FOIs I haven’t really worked out if there’s a match on.

snoopster.bsky.social•6 days ago

Perhaps consider sending one to Surrey, asking if they have considered taking some wickets?

mikeyavery.bsky.social•6 days ago

It worked!

once again, London Centric gets results

garyoldham.bsky.social•6 days ago

Great solution.

I wonder if I can convince my bosses that The County Ground in Taunton on a match day is the perfect venue for a meeting.

Good luck in London.

I cannot begin to say how happy this makes me

samfr.bsky.social•6 days ago

Why I have never thought of this? Genius.

It's the best value season ticket for an extended period of time in London. Basically get free working space every second week in London for a period of 4 months for less than £300 with the added bonus of being able to watch the best domestic cricket players in the country.

lukemiddup.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yeah, but you actually get any work done or do you just watch the cricket?

simonharrington.bsky.social•6 days ago

About as much as yuou'd get done in any other coworking space. The Pavillion has lots of tables (needs more sockets) and most of the time its reasonably quiet.

A friend told me about this wheeze a while back. It’s a great way to get office space.

watch out for spin

northamptonian.bsky.social•6 days ago

Excellent choice.

This is the future of work - must see if PA has a similar scheme...

mark1962b.bsky.social•6 days ago

I’m here also. Question…can something that hasn’t been built yet be iconic?

nickchristian.bsky.social•6 days ago

Have they installed plug sockets under that bench over the winter? Would be a game changer for me and my crappy old laptop.

ben-knight.bsky.social•6 days ago

Out of interest... Where in the ground are you sitting that has a convenient laptop table like that?

Life in a wheelchair isn’t always easy, but I’m determined to keep moving forward. I’m fundraising for an enclosed mobility scooter to stay active, independent, and connected. Every bit of help counts. Your kindness fuels my journey. Details on my GoFundMe. A share or gift. https://gofund.me/0af928df

A good % of the spectators will be from the West Country, come on SOMERSET.

explodingheads.bsky.social•6 days ago

God that's the absolute dream right there. Shame it's Surrey.

stockfttp.bsky.social•6 days ago

Officially jealous...

I think that still classes as WFH - it's the home of the cricket team. Plenty of fresh air and sunshine too, so bonus point on looking after the health of the workers.
