Good to see organised religion taking its rightful place amongst our viewing populace.
And I see the unemployment rate must have rocketed again recently on Merseyside........

I assume this Cable Channel list does not take into account the
subscribers who access via satelite ?
Cable being unavailable in many regions, therefore I suspect satelite figures would be much higher, though I stand to be corrected.
Surely Sky Sports must get more subscribers than Man United TV !!!!

Cheers Cornish Chris.

....hopefully explaining the ethical basis of charging an aboslutley obscene ?60 a day for non-return of a form that could only be understood by someone with an advanced Accountancy diploma.....and I'm talking about the 'simplified' version. Can one discount the cost of hiring professional help for completion of said from? Thought not.
You must be a suicidally brave chap, with your admission.
