I'm on callout duty this week :(
But loads of calls, so loads of money eventually:)

Went to one last night - no power. Got there to find the key meter was in debit, hence no power. Pointed this out, then the tennant gets arsey with me that the emergency credit should last longer!!! They knew it was running on emergency credit, but it didn't occur to them that they should go and charge it up when the electricity cut out. The times I've been to these calls, and they always expect us to go and charge the meter for them because "It's an emergency".

Hopefully they will get billed for this call, but as they are on the social, I guess they won't end up footing the bill.


Grrrrr - I hate unemployed chavs!!
 
Yeah, sounds familiar! I see this everyday. The other classic one it the tenant getting irate because the washing machine ain't working and we were the last to plug it in so it is our fault and we are facing a huuuuuuge bill! I walk over, flick the SFspur and hey presto! Thick *******s! Thick Britain. Makes me sad that we haven't even evolved since the middle ages and yet my taxes pay for these scumbags to have a nice house at a fifth of what I pay on mortgage.

<seething>
