Does that make me a bad person? Where is the line of Sky subscribers having a go at me? Oh, there isn't one! Reason? Because Sky knows damn well that by giving me 50 quid (which was the price at the time) they've got 31 quid a month from me for the past 14 months. That, to me is sound business sense too.

To those who say that giving discounts to customers is 'spoiling' things for other customers just simply shows a level of immaturity and lack of knowledge as to how real-world business operates.
How dare you?!?!?!

Oh my God those are my wages that are being used to supply you that.

How will we afford to invest, how are we going to get by now? Because of you Sky made £50 less profit!!! 6 months to December 31st 2006 only £336 million down from £414 million previous year, and £50 of that is because of you!!!!

I don't know how you sleep at night.

(Hopes that irony isn't lost.)
