Welcome to East Croydon - Home of Nestlé UK
This is the first thing you see when you arrive in East Croydon by train.
I´m coming here this month to lead quite a strange life 8 hours a day. Being a Spaniard in England, during those 8 hours I work, eat and live in a big building in French, together with Aurélie and Céline.
I spend 7,5 hours a day calling France.
Calling companies with names such as
L´Amicale des vendeurs agréés or
Féderation française de tennis de tableSpeaking with people whose names are
François, Michèle, Jöel, Thierry, Bernadette and
Laetitia.
I specially like when the friendly French operators at the other side of the line welcome me and then tell me
"Ne bougez pas", while they look for the information. And finally, once they have answered all my questions, just before they hang up, I love the way they wishper
"Une belle journée".
