Probably cut about £30 off the bill. So they will actually make much less money off me personally if they don't get BT Sports.

I must have missed something I looking back thru pages and pages on here and I can not recall anyone saying IT MAKES GOOD BUSINESS SENSE are you getting confused with a different forum

Their real HQ is in Denver, Colorado. This is where Mike Fries and John Malone (Liberty's majority owner) are based. For tax reasons, the HQ is now listed in London. In a sort of way, Liberty has become a subsidary of VM.

I'm sure you're right but half might be an under-estimate.

I doubt it one would suspect he would still find something to complain about

Let's focus on the topic, not pesonalities, please - it's getting close to crossing the line from banter to hectoring.
