This is like trying to paddle up stream at the moment.

Cape,
Similar, I have an unoccupied property(waiting on planning permission to convert to flats).I popped in the morning of the thaw to find the pipes had popped out of copper isolator valves in three different places and water rushing out . Had to cut off from mains. I’m with Thames Water , but no need to call them as it was inside my property, my problem.
Ohh. You said it’s in three’s , Just received my third speeding ticket . This one driving south on the M1. And I was so proud of having a clean licence for a while

Suprised Homecare covers this situation .

Try ringing BG customer service and an automated voice says offices are closed due to adverse weather...try with homecare contact number 08000481000 and same response...no doubt complaints and compensation will start flooding in...

Well, at least the Sun is out with some nice Blue Skies instead of Blizzards and freezing Toes. ;)

Well said Warranty The press will eventually find someone or something to pick on next and then hopefully onward and upwards for CNA and the rest.A dethroning of Corbyn would also help.

People moaning about the cost of gas rising and the energy company's having to increase prices because gas is imported and we have to pay the going rate on the open market make me sick. They are the same people complaining about fracking which would not only reduce prices and guarantee supply but also create well paid jobs. When are the press going to get off the back of the big six and start telling it how it is?

By quickly paying up the consultant what chance there is some sort of cover up?...

Judging by the fees my understanding of professional would be that you are paying for the best advice available. EY accountants had proposed a plan in mid December that would have generated over £360million that wasn’t pursued .Why.
It sounds like a gravy train.

Professional just means paid for.....Not to be confused with 'good' or 'value' or 'prudent' or 'wise' or 'sound' or indeed 'success'.

[yump] 04/3/2018 16:19

I think you've misunderstood the meaning of the word 'professional' - it doesn't necessarily involve getting results and there is of course the 'professional foul', which is about as far removed from professional as you can get. Or on the other hand very close to it, judging by the fees CLLN paid out to the big accountancy firms.

I'm not sure I understand it now. I think 'paid a mint' for something intangible probably covers it. At least the footballers score goals and provide entertainment.

The times. ‘Warning Over small cheap energy suppliers ‘

Couldn’t believe it was positive about British Gas ,had to read it twice.

Article said some may go under , they may not offer the back up service.dont always work out the cheapest. ‘You Can set up a energy supply co. with a pound and no investors , no equity and run at a loss in the hope your loss making customers will revert to the most expensive tariff at the end of their contract’
Shock/horror . Uswitch had British Gas as the third best customer service.

Is the tide turning?

Waves freezing over, Isle of Sheppey. Excluding the Wash and harbours, I don't think open sea has frozen since 1963.

And if that fails, get the woolly blanket, socks, large hat multiple layers and extra large coat with a hot cup of tea cooking from your camping stove. ;)
