But in general, they have a (well deserved) bad reputation for trying to
fleece the public

Just been happy to see a now retired old friend from work back in for a
day to cover an emergency. And on chatting at lunch - as you do - he told
the story of BG quoting to replace his ancient back boiler system which
was on one of their service contracts, but suddenly couldn't be maintained
anymore. 4000 quid. And the salesman said to expect savings of 80% on the
gas bills. Didn't know Drivel was now a gas salesman.

Of course he is. Two combis don't run on air, you know.



He got a mate of a mate to fit a condenser combi for 2000 quid - and by
the sound of it a good job. But now complains about how long the bath
takes to fill. ;-(

Didn't have Drivel fit the two combis did he?
