Just a couple of questions though will you be avaliable at dawn and will you require things like blindfolds and last requests, I cancelled the priest btw, given your previous posts didn't think it really appropriate.

Problem is your way of implying that NTL/VM, or whatever you want to call them(it doesn't matter), were in some way linked to this as a company. In all fairness this is, in all likelyhood not true.

A number of NTL/VM employees just happened to be involved in the scam. But that's quite easily explained by what I shall call the "Dave-Steve" theory: Dave and Steve both work at NTL/VM, Dave get's to know about this via another theory that i'll call "the bloke in the pub", Dave then tells Steve, he also tells a whole load more Steve's, some of them that for NTL/VM, some of them don't. The original Steve also does the same.

Point being, who they work for is immaterial, it's the fact that people who work together will talk about stuff other than work, including things that may not be above board. The employer can't exactly control that!

The article says they crashed their company cars into other vehicles, so ntl/VM whoever their employer was at the time is involved. (Or were these guys contractors)
