Oh wow, there now is actually one single company that currently rates a fraction worse in percentage terms.
Judging by the bias you display, the way you distort facts and the complete nonsense you have posted here on many occasions, I would guess you are working or subbing for BG/Centrica. Am I far off?

You obviosuly misread when I said BG were 2nd, I meant as in 1st (best), 2nd (not quite the best) rather than 2nd worst.

To the best of my knowledge I have never distorted any facts I have posted on this website, otherwise they would not be facts.

In terms of who I work for I am a consultant working in the utilities industry as clearly stated in my signature, I am not an employee of energy company. As the views I posted on here are mine and not those of my clients I do not include a list of clients in my signature.

I wouldnt advice it, this will be classed as an ilegal connection and can face criminal prosecution as well as high charges.

Indeed..though in Ebays listings T&Cs it says it does not allow the listing of items which promote or facilitate criminal activity. I suspect that most of these meters have been obtained via questionable routes. Ebay do not take any action when told about it.

Heres another one...

This person tries to legitimise this item saying that it is used by Registered gas engineers for testing purposes. It is not. It has been made for the purposes of theft of gas..

Again,,ebay not interested.

I know people that have put these on their supplys, they are then cut off and charges bought against them for theft.

ebay and such are watched and checked by various companies involved in the supply of gas and its regulation, there have been arrests and jail time and there will continue to be so - so anyone thinking of by passing the system putting them selves and others at risk be warned - you are being watched.

Indeed..as Chantz4 and Lemontart suggest...there are systems in place to track monitor and take note of gas consumption,possible theft of gas etc and those who think they are getting away with it are often caught in the end,hopefully before they cause an accident.

I find that very hard to believe. I work in the gasindustry too, and the amount of people I come across moaning about BG simply beggars believe. I wouldn't go as far as saying more than all others combined, but it is not far off.

Sounds like you are subbing for BG to me.

British Gas also have more customers than any other supplier so it is not surprising you hear more people complain about them than other suppliers.

I don;t work for BGas by the way and I do think that Premier too often sits on the side of the supplier - but we are all entitled to our opinions!

BG aren't great, but their are worse than them in the industry.

You have some serious hate for BG ben...

Worse than BG? Twice, they threatened to break into my home without a warrant to remove the meter for a non existing debt. I had to get the police involved to stop them.
