RAGH! Just spent toooo long on the phone to call centres…
Right then, the heavily-edited story so far is…
– My Gas meter cabinet is falling apart.
– I want to build a new one
– On closer inspection I noticed that the meter isn’t fixed to the wall, but balanced on a brick instead.
– Not wanting to inadvertently cause a gas leak while demolishing old cabinet and building new one I called my supplier to put it right.
– Gas supplier said I needed to call National Grid instead
– Called National Grid, they said it had to be arranged by my supplier.
– Called Supplier back who called National Grid.
– National Grid wont do anything about it as there’s currently no leak so it’s not considered to be dangerous.
So essentially, I need to cause a leak or blow up the front of my house before they’ll do anything about it…
[looks at the playground insults thread to get some ammo for when I call back]
