Blimey Ian, if only you were a little prettier I'd swear we'd been separated at birth.

You could have made it triplets but I get 120mb broadband.

Love this feature.
If there is a programme that we want to watch on a non BBC channel.
We start recording it then start watching 10 minutes later so we can skip the commercials.

Andrew is spot on. Speak to the providers regularly and threaten to take your custom elsewhere. Works a treat in most cases and where it doesn't you know you're doing the right thing moving to a new provider.

I've got TV from Sky, telephone and broadband form TalkTalk. I've tried shopping around and haggling and got the cheaper from the incumbents. The broadband is not great, but cheap and is sufficient for my limited usage. If I were using it for online video games, then it would be too slow. I'm not that sad, though.

The same thing applies to car (and any other) insurannce. Direct Line renewals quoted me £300 more than last year. I went to their web site and put in the same details and - hey presto - the price was exactly the same as last year's. One 2-minute phone call later, and all was the same.

Similarly, I have a Warranty Direct (Pinnacle Insurance) extended warranty on the motor. The quote was £649 online and £679 if I wanted instalments. I called, haggled, and got it for £499 spread over four equal quarerly payments with no interest.

You can tell I'm in procurement!

which means you will but what you think people want , not what they actually asked for

I renewed my mobile contract and negotiated a better deal than they had advertised ( virgin) same with the Tivo box. negotiated a better deal for the 1Tb Box than what was being offered on the 500 Gb box.

Cheeky! Does dim angen am hynny!

What usually happens is that my clients come to me and want me to put in a contract for things they don't know they want!

I can't imagine my family gathering around a computer monitor to watch a program that can not be viewed on the television.

Changing times though. For a one off cost of £5-20 you can get a cable to take any laptop content onto your tv. A bit pricier for desktop to tv but do-able.
