Phoned up sky to cancel (basically trying to pull the same trick that had worked 3 times previously to save money where I ask to cancel and they offer it me half price for 3 months)...to my surprise the geezer cancelled it with minimal fuss without offering me the half price deal!
Oh no no more sports...cue another call to them 10 minutes later sheepishly asking them to cancel the cancellation request as "the missus went nuts at me when I told her I'd cancelled it"!
