They tend to put people on the blacklist if you try that. Was reading about some other fools like me on the internet and they have the same problem.
The time has come to stop turning the other cheek, time to stop shaking our heads in bitter dismay, time to stop mumbling our angry words.
The time has come for union.

Postman do you really expect us to believe that you, a London postie, have been delivering D2D items?
What did they have to give you? A day SA for each one?

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

There is no 2meg service with Virgin anymore they have all been upgraded to 10mb but i think the usage allowance is fairly low. Had the 50meg myself but am downgrading to 20meg as my 4 year old PC is struggling to keep up with the download speed :arrrghhh

As with Sky i used to work for them a few years back. If you cancel your DD with them then they will pass your details to debt agency so not really worth it. As prev poster said, advise them that you are moving into either a listed building or your landlord (if rented) has told you that you cannot put a dish up. They may then offer you an early termination settlment.

I live in Northern Ireland and the last time I looked at a map Aberdeen was in Scotland, anyway those tests only use a handful of servers so many people would use that particular one (and Teebs server was Dublin).
