Ah, grrrrrrrrrrr

Sorting out electricity bills. I've traced the original mistake and it goes back to my landlord. Instead of giving the company the night and day readings, he gave instead the total and day reading which obviously skew my bills completely, as then I would end up paying for my deay electricity twice. No fucking way.

Still, British Gas (great 'leccy providers) were still dumb enough to ignore the actual readings I gave and insert an extra '1' into my readings so that my night reading of 0728 magically became 1728 to correspond with the >1000 false reading given by my landlord. Instead of questioning this figure and perhaps even getting someone official to come read the meter. So after actually getting a wrong estimate, then a totally wrong bill, I've had a third, wrong bill. And obviously the phone bill charge to sit a queue for ages.

Some of it is my fault for not querying the other bill I had in July, but I've only just put 2-and-2 together. Still, I'm damned if I'm going to pay for a trivial mistake. I'm short enough as it is.

Grrrr, utility services are usually so useless! I'm half considering cutting of my mobile phone to avoid the cost, except that almost all of my stuff is handled by mobile.....and my home phone I cant get rid of since I desperately need the broadband (:D

Still, I should cut down on my bills, by ruthlessly unplugging things.......
