Tenant had a card for his leccy but he lost it, or it stopped working, or
something. Electric Board said he had to have a different type of meter.
Somehow he ended up with no power for a week. His heating is electric. He
plugged an extension into the socket on the landing so he could run an
electric fire. Another tenant reported him. The management company came out
and turned off the power to the landing. So, no landing lights and no TV
amplifier. The latter served three blocks. Many tenants reported the lack of
TV reception. I couldn't get into the meter room because the council had put
a new lock on it. So, they still have no telly. What will tomorrow bring?

That will teach the person who reported their neighbour to mind their own
business. Poetic justice.

To be honest I thought exactly the same thing. However it is theft, and
you'd report a thief surely? Interesting moral dilemma.

There was a piece about pre-payment meters on Watchdog
last night. A bit of a cock-up, with consumers being back-charged
serious arrears through no fault of their own. I wonder if it was connected
with that?

You would think that if you put mony into a prepayment meter you would have
bought the electricy and thats it.

If the meter is set to the wrong rate because of a price rise, it is up to
the electicity supplier to change the meter.
(assuming that you provided reasonable access to change the meter,)t

When I worked in the TV rental trade a significant part of
the business was customers with pre-payment meters on
the back (and laterally on the top) of their TVs.

I thought there has been no such thing as an electricity board in England

They were abolished by Madame Thatcher were they not, and sold
off to her business friends.

It is all so much more efficient now that they are privately owned,
and operated for the benefits of the stockholders and not for the
public, eh?
