SMART METERS - NOTHING BUT AGGRO -

[COYBL25]

Does any gas fitter know why SEE send out an Electrician to put a Smart meter on a gas meter & even after he refused to fit a smart meter on the gas after fitting on the Electric meter- he threatened to cut the gas off - I got rid of him with the meter remaining on.

I got an inspector out by United Utilities gas department as he stated there was a kink in the gas pipe the day after they did a report stated even though the property was lead piped it was still feasible to fit a Smart meter as they passed the gas meter perfectly safe - The same guy from SSE turned this am at my mother in laws just around the corner & refused to look at the report given by United Utility emergency Gas saying the |gas meter & appliances were all safe - ,

My wife got agitated by him, & told him in that case remove the electric smart meter - he threatened to call the police so my wife told him to just do that, as he was bull crapping her etc etc -
We are going to e mail the reports in to SSE ...
Any reason why he should overrule a no 1 Gas safety organisation - my point is to any registered gas fitters on the GOT - he claimed lead piping was outlawed this is not the case - He claimed there was a kink in the lead pipe this is not the case - in fact United Utilities tested the meter & stated it was perfect for fitting a smart meter -

SSE is a faceless offshore company based in Malaysia - I left them last year over billing - trying to cut the Gas meter off by just taking photos of the meter - overruled by Gas United Utilities on my wive's mother is 88 years old suffering with bad dementia...

A serious complaint will be going in via e-mail tonight -

I myself have been sceptical over smart meters in my property & this just makes me feel I made the correct decision - the idea of getting one fitted for my Mother in ;law was It's so hard to read the meters ..... plus it would be more convenient in the long run - SSE have just caused trouble ..... utter rubbish of a firm imo ....

Just a word of gentle advice Joey.

It will help your cause enormously if someone else types out the complaint lol

I got a smart meter a few weeks back.

Amazed how much the oven and kettle use.

Changed a few habits I confess.

Could the bloke have been concerned about your diy dyson/chickpea setup?

SSE are total bozos - they continually ignore the readings I send in, refuse to send someone out to read the meters, then always send estimates that are just a small way off the actual reading - along with letters whingeing how they haven't had a reading from me in ages. Got the most spectacularly useless "customer service" person on the phone last week - I genuinely hope he was drunk/on crack/both, as if that was him sober...

This trouble is because your pipes aren't compatible with unleaded E10 fuel @Joey66 . Same reason my classic car gets a muddy cat sitting on it every time I wash it.

Sodding government.

Hello Mr Joey

I was the engineer who attended your property

The fact that you are trying to put a meter on a cow shed has alluded you

Also make sure you get rid of those pipes leading to next door. Not good sir....

The government utility organisation passed the gas meter ........

I cannot make out for the life of me what actually occurred here.

If I break just this first sentence up into parts:

• SEE send out an Electrician to put a Smart meter on a gas meter
  • Ok, following you so far.
• even after he refused to fit a smart meter on the gas
  • What? I thought you just said that's what he was there to do Joey.
• after fitting on the Electric meter
  • He put a smart meter on the Electric meter too? What happened to the gas meter???
• he threatened to cut the gas off
  • OK, that's simple enough.
• I got rid of him with the meter remaining on.
  • The gas meter or the electric meter? Or the smart meter on your electric meter that was supposed to go on your gas meter?

As a gas fitter he would make a good binman

Reading inbetween the lines.

The fitter fled for his life after being attacked by Joey and his mother in law.

It’s like UK version of the Bates Motel, with Joey as Norman and his mother in law up in the attic, sat in the rocking chair.
