Almost certainly the case, regardless of where you work.

On that basis, I suspect you wouldn’t do well working where I work (although arguably neither do I).

Tempted to expunge all of that from our mind on the basis that the word ‘de-risks’ was used.

The link is to an FT article. For those who don’t have access:

“BT and Sky have ended a long-running disagreement in the TV market after signing a reciprocal cross-licensing deal for their respective TV channels including sports.

The deal means that BT can integrate Sky Sports, Sky Cinema and Sky Atlantic, home to Game of Thrones in the UK, into its TV products and bundles while Sky can sell BT Sport directly to its customer base.

BT said the move to integrate Sky’s Now TV brand de-risks its sports strategy and helps it to compete with companies including Netflix by aggregating more content. ”

It appears not watching doesn’t help.

I turned it back off but I think the damage was done.

What? He’s easy to pick out, he’s the six-foot white slightly stubbly one with brown hair and a faintly South African accent…

…oh, I see.

I’m thinking the same. Who even is he? Where did they find him?

All I know is his nickname is ‘AC’.

It’s like he’s set on all the default settings before you start tweaking facial features when making a character in a computer game.
