British Gas has had a number of marketing slogans. Among them: "Don't you Love Being in Control?"
Hmmnnph!
Their current mantra: "Improve Your World!"
I await the arrival of British ("Doing the Right Thing") Gas to install a meter-key for the electricity in my friend's apartment. They say they will arrive between 8am and 2pm.
Yeah, right!
Already, between us, my friend and I have squandered fifteen hours and forty-six minutes waiting for British ("Saving You Money!") Gas.
The installation was supposed to happen three weeks ago but they just didn't show. So they rescheduled for yesterday. The noddy driving the van pulled up outside the apartment, called my pal, phone went to voicemail and so off he went on his merry way.
Numbskull Noddy didn't think to ring the doorbell.
Hence my current shift.
Don't they have a cheek though?
"You just wait there for six hours - we could come at any time. Don't go to work. Don't pee. Don't call us. We certainly won't call you. Don't put your phone down for a second. Above all, DO NOT continue with your life!
Oh, and IF we grace you with our presence, YOU will pay for the parking and the privilege."
Will British Gas ("Energy, Efficiency, Advice") give me back these precious hours as I lie, expiring, on my deathbed?
Will they feck?
Sigh....
British Gas - Pissing. Me. Off!
