Both superb shows that do well in the USA that haven't been picked up in UK.[COLOR="Silver"]
I don't wish for the vast majority of Sky employees to lose their jobs, which is why I hope that if it was taken over for a song, the vast majority would keep their jobs.

This went on for years until Sky then started just taking money from my mams account for her not having the box connected.

I had already phoned Virgin got my parents a deal before canceling the sky. I was on for almost 2 hours while the arrogant douche on the other end slagged off virgin media and would not take no for an answer. In the 2 hours i said i wanted to cancel over 30 times.

I have never had anything but a professional reply from Virgin when changing or canceling services
Sounds about right for Sky.

Same here, but some people are too timid, shy or afraid of being seen to be impolite- which Sky ruthlessly abuse.

Can anybody here receive 'That's Oxford'?

Rumours are going round that they have today gone off air.
