Entertaining facts about Telewest...

Entertaining facts about Telewest: So I'm moving out of my flat in just a couple of days and I'd like to get cable television in the place I am moving to. However I don't know the postcode of the new place, so I can't easily type it into the little box on their website that tells you if you can get service. That's why I decide to type in my current postcode, which is W9 1LE (try it for yourself - this game is quite entertaining). When you type in the postcode the site politely informs you that they don't handle that postcode, but that ntl do. They even helpfully provide a link through to the page in question where you can type in your postcode again. Except of course NTL deny covering that area too. And they helpfully decide to redirect you... back to Telewest again. The irony has taken my neck in its teeth and is beginning to playfully shake...
