My point is DF that you dont know the ins and outs of the contract so as a VM employee shouldnt be speculating on here , just look at the trouble some of your other speculations on here have caused.

He hasn't caused any problems - other peoples' reaction to his information has caused the trouble (imho), with inappropriate comments like

im sure Berkett let your paygrade see the contract Get real

I think you may find duff information in the first place has been the root cause.

Lets have some calmness and reflection please as everybody is entitled to their views and opinions on this forum.

Unless he sits on the board or the negotiation teams he will not know, So he can only post what he is allowed to and can guess at? Same as all the others on here.

True

P.S This forum would not be a lot without all the staff that seem to bend over backwards on here to help out the customers with queries and problems

Agreed - but they shouldn't attack individuals who try to be helpful and give information, and then also make snide comments when the individual doesn't post; bit of a lose/lose situation, isn't it?

DF helps a lot of people on here im well aware of that , however speculation from VM employees just doesnt help , i fully agree personal attacks are not called for.

I agree with all those points. Lets remember as well that DF's signature says he is a VM employee but his posts are his personal opinion.

Is this the stick up for VM staff thread or a coming soon to VM TV thread?

Very tedious.

How you've managed to turn this in to VM's fault i'll never know

I've been away from the forum for personal reasons, i've not fell out with anyone, neither can I not "take it on the chin".

Welcome back to the mad house DF.

Hope everything is fine now...

Very well said

DF's signature reads "All views expressed on here are my own and may not be the same as Virgin Media". If DF wants to post speculation let him, he doesn't claim his posts are the gospel truth and he doesn't claim to be speaking on behalf of the company he works for.

This thread is 99% rumour and speculation anyway. I gave up believing most posts here a good few months ago. I'm surprised so many people get upset when things are posted here such as the launch date of a channel that Virgin themselves didn't confirm, the date then comes and goes and no sign of the channel.

The Red Herring at the moment is the Red Button facility. I'm just going to wait for the official announcement from Virgin before getting my nickers in a twist. Saying that if all of the unconfirmed rumours are true, I'll be enjoying Red Button heaven tomorrow night.

l don.t stick up for anybody as we are all grown up and should be able to take criticism and praise in equal amounts but l will not insult anybody.
