The British Gas man came round with his new wireless laptop to quote:


They would replace it with a brand new Glo-Worm boiler (basically a
new model of what we've got), sort out the brickwork as there is a
smaller flue for the new one, replace the immersion tank, pipe work,
clean out the radiators, new therm and clock, with a £100 trade in and
£130 odd off for having a 3 star service contract, plus a free years
contract as well...about £2600.

Do you want a new boiler or did the BG man persuade you that you needed
one?

BG's favourite trick is ripping off punters by telling them that they
need a new boiler - the service man even gets commission on it.
