Open Letter To Sky TV's Bosses

Dear Sky Bosses,

I'm writing this open letter to you as I feel others need to know precisely how aggrieved I am with your latest money making scheme.

Let me first of all explain my situation. I am a carer for my mother, who is in her 80's. I have no income and so any expenditures have to be justified. Frankly just paying your ever increasing subscription charges has been difficult enough. Your latest little tactic I find both indefensible and deceitful.

Shoot The Parents (or Guardian)!

I've touched on this subject in the past but once again find myself returning to it because it's still an all too frequent sight in the highstreet.

What is it about people, be they parents, grandparents or anybody else, who cannot grasp the simple concept that computer and console gaming has come a long way in the last 30 years and some games, ya know, might not be suitable for little Timmy, even if he does so badly want it!?

Microsoft Pointless

Let me make something clear, I absolutely love my Xbox360. Were I to be forced at gunpoint to choose which one of my consoles I could keep it would almost certainly be that. However, I'm currently rather pissed off with the manufacturer, Microsoft, because they are – as far as I am concerned – trying to rip people off.

It ASDA get better than this!

I don’t know about you but one of the nice things about buying a new console game is taking off the cellophane, opening up the box and removing that pristine DVD. Not much to ask when paying out good money. Or so you’d think. ASDA (the UK equivalent of Walmart) appear to have other ideas.
