British gas engineer

[Poptasticdave]

Had exactly the same thing form British Gas 15 years ago with my then neighbour - lady of (then) 78. BG came to do annual service of boiler and next morning she called me at about 7:30 to say that when programmer had clicked on there was a big bang and although she'd put new fuse in to the spur it kept blowing.

Looked inside boiler and found mains cable draped OVER the burner (was old open flue boiler).

BG sold her a new boiler on the back of that as they managed to CON(vince) her that it was due to the age of the boiler.

Nowt but highway robbers.

Remember BG is owned by a private equity firm and they are sales driven AA is the same the problem we have is we keep thinking they are the old pre nationalised companies when they are no better than a second hand car saleman
