I wouldn't have anything to do with Branson's empire.Virgin Media have been doing my head in this week. I'll spare the boring details, but essentially they're harassing us to have a broadband hub installed (we don't have broadband with them) in order to upgrade the phone line that we don't use (the deal was cheaper with the line than without but there is no phone plugged into it) because it has to plug into the back of the hub. Quite naturally, we don't want the added clutter of a second hub that we are not going to use for anything and don't have space for.
I called up on Friday to explain that we don't use the line and ask for it to be removed and was told it was still cheaper for us to just keep the line as part of the deal and not use it and that we wouldn't have to do anything further with regards the upgrade. And then the harassment continues and they tell me the above, that we need a broadband hub for the phone line even though don't have the former and don't use the latter. So tomorrow I have to call them and cancel the new contract I agreed to on Friday and ask them to just cancel the phone line and keep the TV so we don't have to have the hub, like I originally said we wanted when I called up. Madness.

Him having founded the Virgin Group is enough given his tax evasion and assaults.You are in luck then. Virgin isnt owned by Branson.

i never suggested it might.You'll be delighted to know, then that my own dealings with Virgin Media does not automatically oblige you to also be involved.

Not since the option of London Midland to and from Euston from about 2007.Did you not use Virgin Trains then?
No one couldn't, but I've not known any franchise that offered "a decent pint".Can you get a decent pint on London Midland?

I had overlooked his trains for meetings in London before then because I wasn't paying the fares. Branson gaining the InterCity West Coast franchise meant a halving of the window size with the Pendolinos he commissioned ( Avanti's new 'Standard Premium' carriages must be a necessary improvement ) and a doubling in fares within ten years, from the £67.50 ticket I'd have in February 1997 to £125 in January 2005.
