Makes a lot more sense to leave it because you wont have free electricity for long. But we will have more cheap electricity when the likes of Moreside come on steam, and we will run out of gas. |

I remember this bloke coming round to read the meters about two years ago and asked him what happens if they are ALWAYS unable to obtain access or are turned away. He said that at the end of the day, and it could be a long day, a warrant is obtained and he comes back with a policeman. I can't remember if they still come round to read the meter, but there is meter reading bloke living down the road from me. He drives around in a van. Oh! https://www.britishgas.co.uk/help-an...-my-meter.html "For safety reasons and as required by law, we will still send an authorised meter reader to inspect your meter from time to time."

They will just use and estimate which will take your breath away and the only way to avoid the debt collectors taking the Giulia is to let them read the meter, in which case they will take the Giulia anyway because the electricity bill will be much higher than the estimate because you have been stupid enough to use it like it was free when it isnt. |

FAIR ENOUGH, PAL! Ad you are aware that the meter has not been installed - and believe (wrongly) that you are getting free electricity - as you have spouted quite publicly. Would you care to have a bet as to what happens? |

I am curious as to what you mean by "free electricity". Can you elaborate? I applied for a free electricity offer with BG between 0900-1700 Sat/Sun and they said they could not put me on that offer until I get a smart meter fitted and there is a long waiting list. I am now with BG, but they have no record of my electric account at all as they cocked up the handover from npower. I think that you will find that all the electric you are getting is potentially free. (No joke there) You need to get top of the range heating, cooling, dehumidifiers, fans - perhaps a new sauna and take advantage of it. |
