VICTORY

Southern Electric (who were very good to me, and wrote off some of my final bill) have been nasty and underhand and tried to steal bugshaw's gas / electricity supply by telling her that I requested it to be transferred. (Which: no.)

This is the sort of thing that stresses and angers me a lot, not least because I hate making phone calls. Luckily, anger is an energy.

"No, I did not request a transfer on 7th November. No, I did not provide you with any meter readings for this property, only for the one I vacated. No, I have not spoken to anyone about meter readings for this property."

Sadly they did not give me the opportunity to demand PROOF before they backed down, said it will automatically be switched back as an erroneous transfer, we don't have to do anything, and yes there will be a letter of apology and some compensation (unspecified, but it's the thought that counts, yes?) in the post Real Soon.

Not sure I believe them but this is considerably less hassle than they led bugshaw to believe.

Some days it's harder to enjoy the Christmas spirit than other days.
here, via Sendspace, is a song for those days.
