Craig,

i am not saying he is responsible in any way, shape or form (the thought couldnt be further from my mind), and I have no intention of being rude to him, and kind of hope my letter wasnt. But, he has allowed what was NTL to use the Virgin brand. And surely as the ultimate arbiter of what that brand is worth and what it can be used for he must realise the potential damage to the brand value of allowing this to continue.

I only address the letter to Sir Richard as he holds a 14% stake in this combined group (figures from a Google search. so if wrong please correct). I remember him talking about the unfair competition of BA (shades of Mr Laker, I feel), and would hope that the value of the Vigin brand is such that he would perhaps use his influence to affect the future course of the company.

Regards
