a pop up office

As a rule the Merton Apprentice doesn't open until four o'clock on Thursdays. Next week however that will go out the window as they are showing every match of Euro2016.

Our office is in the same building, so yesterday I went down there at 4pm with a Microsoft Surface and a cordless phone on our land line. The Surface picked up our wifi and I could make and receive calls on the phone.

Next Thursday at two in the afternoon when England play Wales at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis, in Lens we will seamlessly relocate from the first to the ground floor for the duration of the match and no one need be any the wiser. It is possible, though, that productivity may suffer.
