And of course he was told this in confidence by the a friend of the Cleaners cat of the cleaner who cleans the Offices at Hook.
Sorry but if and i mean IF that was true it would be one of the closest secrets that VM would have until the day before it is to happen. Sorry but these Rumours prop up from time to time. I NEVER believe them until they happen.
Finally if they do introduce pins on all channels then off to sky i go. There is no way in hell i would be imputing a pin every time i want to watch Virgin 1.
I have some friends in Networks for VM will ask them if they have heard anything, One of them works in the headend so if anyone knows he will ?.Problem is even if they say its true i would not be daft enough to post it on here for all the **** bags to read who steal cable
