hi charley I have heard off that one too, the nothing to lose thoery makes a lot of sence maybe we must have listerned to the same person at some point.

Tony what have you started.?? Hugh, I can't see the difference between you and Ukav either, are you sure you have not got those tight slacks on mate.

I believe in God but as to the bible I do think it's a bit out dated and old fashioned if it isn't then or our socioties morals have been dug well and truly in the ground

My blumming laptop.

Priceless.

I received S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) details today but before looking through them I got distracted by a CD that was enclosed. The CD was a taped conversation I had with them about 3 weeks ago when I called them to ask them to cancel there application for a Warrant as they are no longer my supplier and I felt they owe me money not me owe them.

The CD is about 30 mins long and at the start of it the lady asked if my O/H was around so he could give her permission to talk to her. He was and he did, all this was clearly heard on the CD. During the conversation it was obviously we were going round in circles so I asked to speak to a Manager this request was ignored ten mins later I again asked to speak with the manager and again it was ignored after a further request she agreed and put me on hold this was 15 mins into the CD. that's it !! music till the CD finishes a further 15 mins later it's like I am just left on the line.

What really happen was I did eventually speak to them manager told him of my concerns and he refused to discuss the issue with me and wanted to speak to my O/H instead, I informed him that my O/H has already given permission during this conversation for me to speak on his behalf Manager said I don't care I will only discuss it with your O/H and put the phone down on me.

I am now going to write and ask why the CD has been edited and request a copy of the whole conversation.

the CD really does show them in bad light leaving me hanging on the phone for 15 mins before it stops, the problems i am having all relates to a lack of communication from their side, this is a prime example.

Bona and Hugh ha that's no help! my Grannie also said wireless which means i can be anything from 2 to 80 so come on, stop having us believe your a little spring chicken I don't know!!so people will try and get away with anything!!

I hate it when I go into my son's room and it looks tidyish then I open the wardrobes and all his dirty washing falls out

what about the doc telling all them porkies at the trial.

Kia, and GM. don't give me that I bet both of you must have had a test drive what am I missing out on!!good for yous anyway I sleep next to a snorer and it's no fun especially when they tell you you've kept disturbing their sleep by giving them a little shove to try and shut the up. They never mention the fact that our sleep gets disturbed. In fact it's non existent because of the noise they make.....!!

RP, what a giggle that must be great imagine the fun next time you watch a footie match, just give a little wiggle of the hips that will start the arm wave and you could look like the teams number one fan. I would stay away from any auction rooms though.

Hugh "Slacks" that's giving your age away isn't it!!! they went out with the Ark you should be thanking your lucky stars that they don't fit you anymore just in case you ever had a overwhelming desire to wear them :o

u could always have hit her with your cast accidentally of course :grin:nothing worse than a snorer i put up with it for years not any more new one dont do it :wink:xxkia.

ha ha Kai, what did you do?? did you take him on a test drive first, just in case or maybe it was one of those " if not satisfied after such and such a time please return". problem is what would be the time limited before you knew if you would be satisfied 7 mins, 1 hour, 1 night, 7 nights, lol I think I'll give it a try....

Pen x

yes I do intend to contact energywatch.

To be honest, I am hoping they don't call because if they do I am going to have to take some sort of action. I have a letter from them claiming they have a warrant which I know to be untrue so if they call they are trying to gain entry by deception. I have never seen a warrant so don't know if they could just print one off and add my name and address to it. However I am certain it would have to be signed by a magistrate. if I let them in without asking to see the warrant simply because I have it in writing from them that they have obtained one I don't think they could be charged with trespass because I have confirmed with they court that they have not obtained it but they could be charged with deception. However were does my responsibility lie?? I know they do not have one so if I allow them entry knowing no warrant exisits would it be classed as an invite?? I will have to check up in my old law books.

By the way who does own my metter. I am no longer a customer of SP as i changed to BG and I have an agreement from them and a letter informing me that the change over has taken place and I should inform SP of my final metter reading.

RP why should you get everything?? don't you know theres a waiting list . MRSA etc dosn't come cheap these days you know!! it costs us the tax payers thousands of pounds each year...

S...t!!! Con, your so right!! how silly of me, how could I be so nieve i'm not generaly so stupd I think it's because I get so angry with them! no more phone calls.

ha PB does that mean i'm not invited to a space for my tent in your garden any more...:)sob sob!!!

One of which PB, unwrapped loo paper or disabled places if the first no O/H has the job of unwrapping the loo paper if the latter yes afraid so!! I have to take tons of mega pain relief each day just to be able to walk it's either pain relief and walk a short distence or stay at home... how irritating:)

Kia , I am having visions of you peeing your pants with laughing and the loo paper still being in the carry a bag, not a nice site even by my imagination be prepaied is that the motto ha ok then just don't laugh to much or alternitvly just skip the posts by RP and save your dignity lol..!! but whats a few wet pants between friends

hi everyone.

I don't know if anyone else has come across this problem maybe who knows.

A couple of years ago when we first moved into our house we could not find out who are elec supplier was, we wrote to all of them asking if they were supplying our address and all said no in particular Scottish Power.

We had not had a meter reading or received a bill for 2 years and i knew, well you do don't you!! that someone would send us one some point. Well this point happened when I had just finished work on early retirement and I was waiting for my smallish lump sum pension payment.

We got a bill for £2,500 from Scottish Power, this is despite the fact that they had written to us informing us that we did not have a supply with them. Obviously we owed someone and Scottish Power were they only ones who had given us a bill despite it being a whopper. Anyway they wrote asking us to pay in full which at the time I couldn't however I did say we would pay our quarterly bill and catch up with the arrears when we could afford to.

To cut a long story short they eventually threaten to install a prepayment meter and applied for a warrant I informed them that I was awaiting funds from my pension and would be able to pay the balance in full the following month! would they listen obviously not, they went ahead with the warrant and installed the meter. This meter was set to deduct £10 a week of the arrears. The following week I paid the bill £2,500 in full then phoned them and asked them to remove the meter.

They refused stating that the new quaterly bill was due. Anyway after many months of complaining to get it removed they never did and to be honest I was too ill to care so I stopped phoning them. In fact I never got another bill?? I was paying somewhere in the regian of £60 a week for elec cards.

About 16 months after the meter was installed there was a knock on the door it was a meter engineer from SP come to reset the meter. on doing so he informed us that the meter was near £700 in credit. Once again I was on the phone to SP and insisted that they remove the meter and refund us the £700. 2 weeks later they removed the meter and again no bills arrived, I also could not get a refund as they once again said they are not supplying our electricity so could not possibly owe us any money.

yes It gets better.

4 weeks ago I received a final demand for £1,200. I phoned them and said they were not getting a penny until they resolved our problem. The wrote stating they were going to court at the beginning of this month for a warrant.

I could not attend the court so I faxed the court a copy of my letter stating the account was in dispute along with a copy of all the other letters and SAR that I had sent to SP. Also I included my new agreement with British Gas as I had swapped suppliers due to their incompetence so in fact they weren't even supplying me with Electricity.

Last week I received a letter from SP stating they had obtained a warrant and were installing the meter on the 25th of this month. I phoned the court and spoke to the person in listings to ask if the judge had received my faxes. the women remembered me as I had spoken to her to begin with and asked for the fax number anyway she went off to check the files and said that the magistrate refused to give SP a warrant and that they had to write to me to sort it out. I ask her if she was sure no warrant was insued and she confirmed it.

I told her about the letter from SP claiming they have a warrant and she said it was not from them.

now I am confused :-? I phoned SP and said it was very naughty of them sending me a letter informing me they have been issued with a warrant when they clearly haven't, however they refused to discuss they issue with me stating it is in the hands of their legal department.

roll on next week!

Are SP always this incompetant. has anyone else had or heard of anyone else having so much trouble with SP

Kia check the toilet paper is unwraped first.

Also talking about disabled bays what really gets me peeved is people looking at me when I park in one. I can't wait for someone to tell me these are for DPs I think i would clobber them over the head some people think unless your in a wheel chair then your not disabled. ha I wish

Caz I have never seen those adverts. I keep thinking I will reclaim mine but have never got round to it. maybe now is a good a time as ever although I think I will do it with a little help from my friends on here rather then from the hijacker's ha who needs them ! PB weres our invite..

Ok were are the violins...! why don't we all decend on paintball's house for a joliday how about it PB any space for a few tents

I always find if I give money away ie in a charity box I always get some back from somewhere, ha OK not as much as i give but still give it a try and if it doesn't work hard lines but you've made someone happy

"YOU TUBE" generally has videos of good and bad hotels you could check if it's on there.

Trip advisor is generally spot on for hotel reviews but as with everywhere you cannot always please everyone. your going with a group of 12 so you should have a fantastic time, go with an open mind and enjoy yourselves and if by chance you do come across any problems inform the manager immediately and like someone else suggested take loads of photos to back up your complaint.

Whenever i go on holiday i always try and book hotel and flights independently that way you don't pay for the hotel until check out so if it's bad you can just walk out. Some times this can work out a bit more expensive but most times it's so much cheaper.

hang on hang on hang on,,,,, i can't type that quick

Wow, paintball you do have it bad, what ever it is....

having to wait until next month for another school holday 2 weeks of it. Don't you just love it !!

End of school holidays, back to work for my O/H

I found this. I'm crap at making links so I just C&P

The number of episodes supposed to be in this season is 16. Only 8 have been recorded and now with the writers' strike in US, it could only be a 8 ep season. The other 8 maybe tagged onto the next season, giving it a run of 24 episodes.

looks like were just going to have to wait and see. I hate it when shows finish for the season but at least we will have Big Brother to look forward too ha ha ha
