    Make sure you've got your PPI insurance up-to-date...

      I had the Sky movies channels for 3 months @half price but found they duplicated the films after a month or so.

      So terminated that and stuck with the basic contract.

      HTH

          1) Pain to get to (assuming Brentford HQ you are talking about)

          2) Systems to bespoke for my liking

          3) Their addiction to 'extreme' programming ....

          No thanks ..... there is a reason why there always contracts there at good rates. (tip, people dont leave good jobs)

              Nothing secret, just that BSkyB do sue and do win is all...

                Worked for them on my first contract - 21 years ago!

                I think things might have changed a little since, though...

                  Oh yes... that little chestnut.
                  If your company is the best place to work in, for a mere £500 p/d, you can advertise here.

                    BSkyB

                    Great place to work, lots going on, restaurant facilities very good, parking can be a bit of a nightmare, people were great
                    "Hope your doing fine". My favourite opening line in emails from certain agencies! Not only the fact they can't spell, but who actually says that?
