i work for the civil service? i'm in the public sector??? train drivers/bus drivers/government workers would all say they're limited to the uk governments pay increase which has been 0.5% for the last 4 years which is below the rate of inflation. both virgin media and sky both technically non uk companies are trading in a uk environment so know public sector workers are earning less than inflation so therefore know these increases are below inflation. the public sector wage in the north of england is actually higher than majority of peoples wages in the same area.

So yes i do expect VM and Sky to know that hikes in bills are going to hit people hard when they arent getting a pay increase?? But then again we're talking about london based companies.

*sigh* i wish people knew the country existed above north london.

But then again how should i be suprised at a country which blocks funding to a manchester organised olympics as "we feel any major sport event should be held in london" to give yet again a dreadful city more funding. 1996 manchester olympics would have been boss but sadly blocked and denied by a southward obsessed country
