Would be interesting to see if customer numbers increase following this.
I for one have avoided having anything to do with Sky since that wrinkly old fossilised cunt has been involved in it.

Me too, I wouldnât give Murdoch the snot off my nose so have never had any of the products.
Is that just selling the TV company or does it include broadband as well?
Now I just need to check if ANY member of the Murdoch family or any connection with News Ltd remains. Once they are clear of any involvement, THEN and only then would I consider spending any money on it.
Assume they are selling everything under the Sky Plc umbrella
You have a cleaner???
@Rob998 youâre previous employment of a maid is forgiven and totally acceptable.

It was my father! And he didnât employ her, she came with the house that came with his job! I suppose BP employed her, either directly or indirectly.
We couldnât have a cleaner in our house. Weâd have to clean up too much before they came round each week, out of embarrassment, thus negating the whole point.
Apparently people with cleaners fall into two categories - those who have to clean up before the cleaner arrives, to preserve their reputation, and those who have to run around making a mess before he/she arrives, to give them something to do.

Lol. Lou is firmly in the former camp. Whenever we stay in a Hotel, she insists on making the bed before we go for breakfast.

Narelle cleans for a few locals. She insists that the place is tidy so that her time is spent productively doing the actual cleaning.
