I rang Sky today to cancel (although I had no intention to) and told them I was moving to Virgin Media

Got given Sky+ free for a year.

Mission accomplished

Sky channels (apart from sports and movies) went off the air at Midnight.

Virgin have renamed them:

They'll lose loads of customers, I've only got telewest phone, I got all the media gumpf but didn't realise telewest and ntl sold up so it was a shock to get the whole virgin media message whilst dialing 150. I don't like Branson anyway, the sooner we renationalise the railways the sooner the better, the trains are a rip off.

The government will wait until repairs are complete and buy them back.

not about fares as i dont use trains much.

but virgin trains are much nicer to ride in than my manky trains
