Probably none mark, as they are based in Brighton area.

Wow, a company that is based not in the over-crowded, over-priced capital. How very dare they.

they already got rid of lots of jobs in brighton and shipped them off to India (at which point their customer service dropped through the floor and I cut up my green card in protest).

Well none of them, obviously. Or did you mean to ask "How many of these jobs ARE in London?"

Having once lived there,I would say that Brighton is pretty much a suburb of London.Felt that way.The football team was always diabolical
,despite a huge catchment area ,partly because everybody supported London teams .

Has anyone actually tried to use their Amex card recently. Most restraunts, hotels don't take them any more.

george - that is because they charge the merchant twice as much as other cards to process the payments. Free market in action.

It's AMERICAN Express - they probably think Brighton is in London!! I was once on a conference call with a bunch of Americans and one actually asked which country Europe was in...
