Feel free to move this if there's somewhere more appropriate.

While out jogging today I ran past a VM site in an Industrial estate (think it's called Bothwellpark). Is this the Uddingston headend. It had quite a few very large satellite dishes.

You can see some of them on google maps

I'm assuming they must get some of the Sky feeds by satellite. There didn't seem to be a lot of security about if you're looking for a new dish. The bigger dishes were probably about 8 feet across so don't think I'd want one stuck to my house.

On a side note, if you use google maps and zoom right in and go up the back road, you see 2 typical every day VM staff at a car doing what they do best to earn their money...

Nothing unless chatting is paid by the hour :P

That's a bit unfair and a bit of leap to that assumption. No chance that 2 employees of the same organisation could be starting/finishing their shift at the same time or discussing business?
