ScotsAlan Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I can't understand why anyone would have Sky TV in light of the phone hacking scandal. Yup. I stopped buying "The News of The World" because of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tugger Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I signed up just before that. If it was any good, the phone hacking wouldn't make me give it up. Their recruitment of Neville Neville's eldest, on the other hand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDave Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 More nanny state shoite. Banks should only have the right to check peoples credit when the need arises (e.g. going for a loan or not paying it), not police people's spending. 'Dear Mr Arkwright I noticed you spent £15 more on fags and booze this week, paid £14 to watch the big fight, and took your girifriend out twice (does your wife know?). Rememeber we are not just watching Larch View Rise, we are watching you!...' *&*& off! About time these credit reference agencies were reigned in. Presumably it's all in the small print when you sign up for the mortgage to have ongoing credit checks. Bit of a cheek for them to call people up and give them friendly advice, but unfortunately some people need it and I suspect when the repo's start they'll use evidence of their offering friendly advice to show what a helpful and responsible lender they were despite the actions of their customers when it all goes tits up.

WTF Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 er no, with credit scoring banks do not lend to high risks, that is the whole thing about the credit crunch, banks are not lending at present and certainly to no one who is the remotest bit dodgy. Isn't the whole thing about the fact that they were lending to high risks and that they simply can't do now? so why do banks lend to bankrupt 3rd world countries so the dicatator of the day can buy a new learjet knowing full well they will NEVER get it back??

thebees Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Whilst on holiday I saw a lady in a shop, with her dog, she bought 2 bottles of vodka, 40 something superkings, a scratch card, a normal lottery ticket & a chuppa-chuppa lolly (for the dog) Sky tv is the least of the nations problems - Jeremy Kyle is to blame and he is on ITV.

woolley Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Didn't someone post a while ago saying he'd received a letter from NatWest admonishing him because he'd gone £20 overdrawn. He wrote back saying it was a bit rich to lecture him when they were about 100 billion overdrawn having gone cap in hand to the taxpayer. Lovely irony.

Pierrot Lunaire Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I can't understand why anyone would have Sky TV full stop Indeed, it is depressingly bad (cue loads of stupid people waffling on about THE sport), but each to their own. Nevertheless, to remain a Sky subscriber post hacking scandal, well, you might as well have murdered the Dowler girl yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
