The advertising is very good.

It is excellent. On the advert Ricky Tomlinson says "we do not need to be
here" and never was a truer word spoken.


The advertisements are b******s. Even if you provide your own meter
readings over the web BG will send a letter every 18 months threatening
legal action unless you allow them into your house to 'perform a safety
check'.

The safety check is someone turning up to (surprise, surprise) read the
meter. As he is not Corgi registered I'm not sure that this 5 second
safety check has any meaning!

The b******s owe me a days wage and travel expenses to my parent's holiday
home after not tuning up for the above safety check appointment. They also
owe my Dad the same. Third time lucky. An invoice for just over £400 has
been sent to them to cover costs.

Let us know how you get on.
