The British Gas lie is under way again. 'Send us your meter reading,' they say, yet the normal system appears to have 'technical problems! Ha! This happened last time they were fixing the charges. The extra system they offered for entering readings did not go through, and I used the normal system. That is, once it worked! They demand a reading by tomorrow, for us to save money, but make it impossible to enter one. Crooks! Crooks! Crooks!
Ha! Victory!
Trying again brought success. Forcing me to make use of their new, crooked, meter reading has not worked! I have entered the reading properly, but will they notice?
Interesting how the gas prices have fallen back to the original rate, the electric ones have shot up, all the while claiming they are coming down! Crooks! Crooks! Crooks!
Nationalise them all now!
So, having clambered down into the bowels of the building for the electric reading, having fought past the overgrown plant to read the gas, my day returned to nothingness. Hopefully the last effects of this Covid will end this weekend.
