Tav used t be a recruitment agency near the cenotaph if I remember correctly. Bingo Geneva! TAV was an agency, had lots of short term, mostly manual, contract work, all I could get in the early 80s recession. The one I worked for was by the Bargate though. Moved away to go to Sussex University at 24, afterwards got into the NHS contracting (planning heathcare), did a couple of funding jobs giving other peoples money away, worked at Monterey Bay aquarium, and now work for a ocean conservation charity based in Washington (though I work in UK). Still live in Sussex. Edited 17 September, 2010 by buctootim
