*Dates May Change*

Thats a bit of a Force majeure if I ever heard one! :rolleyes:

Re: sky sports red button
 
More of a caveat than a force majeure, imho - force majeure is usually for circumstances beyond one's control, such as Act of God (including tempest, fire, or natural disaster); War, civil war, sabotage or act of terrorism; Government sanction, embargo, import or export regulation or order.

If any of those happened, I probably wouldn't be too bothered about the red button....;)
