An I feel sorry for you if you genuinely believe £8billion would create the current BT/OR network from scratch.

Well that is factually incorrect. VM have started to expand the network, so yes VM have built a cable network.
It was also Telewest that bought NTL and before it became VM it was known as NTL:Teleweest for a while.
While NTL did build they did also buy a LOT of smaller cable companies over the years.
