check the times, my post is time stamped before your edit, I have no reason to post that you didn't answer my question if you had, but clearly you have a problem with being wrong, hence why you went back and edited your post and then said it was for spelling mistakes, why you are making such a big thing of this I do not know, all I said was you never answered the question, which you hadn't, then you edited it in and started arguing, mate you really need help as starting arguing over this is daft.

And if I irritate you, either don't read my posts or put me on ignore but it's a bit daft starting an argument for no reason with someone, as you say that irritates you.

sorry mate am totally baffled by you, good job you are not a meter reader you would soon be getting peed off with the job

Hmmmm, G4S eh? I wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw the lot of them. I'm sorry to you personally because you work for them and of course, jobs are hard to come by, but they don't have a good record on anything they do. I am a British Gas customer and have my meters read and I have the same reader every time. he is polite and quick and always shows his I.D. which is important but more so for me because I am disabled and often have to shout for a caller to "Come in" because I cannot get to the door. Not very safe I know, but what can I do other than pay to have a TV intercom fitted which I cannot afford. Maybe the Housing Association will fit one for me. Must ask.

In 1996 British Gas decided to outsource its meter reading. Group 4 bought 51% of the new company 49% being retained by British Gas. The new company was called Accuread. Several years ago Group 4 bought out the 49% of Britsh Gas. Group 4 merged with Securicor and became G4S so since 1996 your meters have been read by G4S in one guise or another so maybe you should'nt tar all G4S employees with the same brush.

To get around the two yearly rule for meter inspections, set by the regulator, and is a obligation the suppliers mostly adhere too, simply leave your reading somewhere visible, under a milk bottle, in the doorway/window etc and thats the last you will hear from them. No point in switching supplier, all the big six operate like that.

Hi If you have given them a 2 hour slot they are obliged to come at the time. As a G4S reader we often have appointments between 6 and 8. We are usually asked to undertake these reads for many energy companies whose staff do not work the hours we do.
