COlleague of mine, who I speak to quite often - gets the last minibus away from work to teh station.
German bloke, lovely guy and very very good at his job. Pretty much literally a rocket scientist working in our satellite/space division. Lived here for many years.
AS you say, effectively feels a bit unwelcome. Moving to our Netherlands company. Not the only one from that division either of course, given the high EU funding of that sort of work.
