Woman: Hm. Did it take long finding an alternative site?
嗯，另覓選址花了很長時間嗎？
Man: Over a year - which looking back seems excessively long, as we only seriously considered three locations:
一年多，時間有點長，因為我們只認真考慮了三個選址：
Oxford, Ipswich - and Plymouth, which was the one we eventually chose.

All three places had a good labour supply and running costs were comparable;

although I guess Plymouth is slightly cheaper - while being the furthest by road and rail from London.

We rely on the expertise of specialist IT people and where we were before, there are hundreds of businesses in the same position.

We think there'll be less demand for their services here.
