Frank Erskine laid this down on his screen :
My electric meter is in one of those boxes. I never had a key. The
box was frequently left open by the meter reader, so I rang the leccy
company (the one that I pay (paid) for my leccy) and they sent me one
f.o.c. (marked 'Gas'!).

Hope you didn't use it on the 'leccy' box :-)
