Went to Brentwood for Work
I had to head out to the IT headquarters located at a commuter train in Brentwood. Now I assumed that it being 40 miles or so out of the city that it would be a run down industrial area. It turns out that the rich folks live out of London and commute on fast commuter trains.
The Town itself was picturesque english housing, like in those boring tv shows starring semi retarded old ladies that solve crimes. However the people there were young professionals driving Aston Martins.
Work itself was fine, I had a major breakthrough and was able to convince a 3g modem in england to connect to a private VPN in Australia on a frequency its not designed to use, it required lots of cables and firmware hacking.
I went out for lunch and fired off a couple of snaps.
A random churchy looking thing.
The high street, had a salad for lunch at the slug and lettuce, it was very good and well priced.
More of the high street, most of which was being dug up to be repaved.
Example of the architecture in the town, not sure what this is, but things like it were all over with huge lawned areas in front of them.
