Well presumably, you have to pay for the other 11 months.

But presumably also, nobody comes round and checks up on you to ensure you
are actually watching the stuff.

So that's a relief, then.

Simple the catch is *third rate programming* carrying loads more
advertising,awful DOGS and red dots.
The threat is if you unsubscribe,you can't even watch all the FREE FTA
terrestrial channels.

Perhaps Sky have managed to collect a batch of duff boxes that should
hopefully last just the 12 months as well and then go faulty leaving the
subby the shell out full price.

I prefer "perhaps Sky have a batch of boxes that they'll knock out with a
dodgy piece of software code download just after the 12 months".

Not really wizy, 70p x 2 £1.40

you save a month subs @ £39.00?

Sky is looking for more upmarket subscribers, the red top readers were
unreliable payers (Allegedly) ;-)

The trouble with "more upmarket" subscribers is that they tend to want to
watch "more upmarket" programmes.

I'm not sure Kay Burley asking Rebecca Loos if David Beckham is circumsized
qualifies? Or "Ibiza Uncovered" for that matter?

True, though it should be possible to find some used copies somewhere,

Duh. They are clearly looking in the wrong place. If you want upmarket
subscribers, the last place you are going to look for them is amongst the
sundry semi-literate and dim readers of the Daily Mail.

I think that you do the Daily Mail a disservice. It has always been the
preferred paper of the lower middle class including all the middle management
types or more properly the preferred newspaper of their lady wives. The
demographic is similar to the Daily Express. It's a completely different class
of potential punters for Sky than the Mirror, Sun & Star readers that they have
previously targeted.

It's not a broadsheet (well not for the last 30 years anyway) & it did used to
be said that the cushiest job in Fleet Street was ballet correspondent at the
Daily Mail. However to describe their readers as semi-literate & dim is quite
incorrect & insulting.

British Newspapers - who reads what

The TIMES is read by people who run the country.

The MIRROR is read by people who think they run the country.

The GUARDIAN is read by people who think they ought to run the country.

The DAILY MAIL is read by the wives of the people who run the country.

The FINANCIAL TIMES is read by people who own the country.

The DAILY EXPRESS is read by people who think the country should be run the
way it used to be.

The DAILY TELEGRAPH is read by people who think the country is run the way
it used to be.

And the SUN is read by people who don't care who the hell runs the country
as long as she has big tits.


PS in the thirties the Mail had details on how you could join the British
Union of fascists
