Title: Another RANT: Smart meters
Post by: Nick on June 04, 2019, 10:46:26 AM
Severn Trent Water e mailed me about two weeks ago saying they needed access to fit a new water meter. I politely replied pointing out that they had done this two weeks previously  ::)

They just called. The new meter is not registering any water flow (wrongly fitted  ::) ) and they need to come and "resolve" this for me. Is any afternoon this week convenient. It isn't  eveilgrin: 

I managed to get a morning appointment in about three weeks  eveilgrin: eveilgrin: but only after I had been asked to "confirm" my address for "security purposes",

This use of the word "confirm", following on from the imbecile at Hastings Direct, tipped me over the edge.

"We need to resolve this for you, sir".
"I am happy for it to be "unresolved" for three weeks while I get free water. The only ones who what it resolved are YOU and you wouldn't need it resolved if your "engineer" had fitted it correctly in the first place!!!!"  Banghead Banghead Banghead Angry9: Angry9: Angry9: Angry9:

And don't start me on the invoice for cleaning my stair carpet!! I live in a flat you muppets!!

This "problem" remains unresolved and I now find myself engaged in online chats with the ST Water call centre. My regular agent is Brad and, in order to continue my warfare against them, I have reinvented myself as a hypercamp elderly predatory homosexual who is obsessed with Brad  redface:

In a convo about water meters yesterday I managed to establish that he has a girlfriend ( sad32:), has a leather jacket but not leather trousers ( sad32:) is 26 ( :thumbsup:) and enjoys skiing ( :thumbsup:).

He wants to arrange for an engineer to come round to resolve my "problem" but I am insisting on a burly man  angel1

Tell them how upset you will be if you have to move all your Liberace memorabilia out of the meter cupboard yet again.
