    I can't be the only person that watched this program and wondered where I could get hold of one of these gangs, rather than feel sorry for the energy companies :D

    Wonder if this man thought the same? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cumbria-25848912
  • Seems it's greed that foils the perps.

    The smart action must be to move to using separate gas and 'lecky suppliers, at the same time as tapping the 'lecky before the meter but just to power the cooker and immersion heater. The new 'lecky supplier may just assume you cook on gas an have a combi as usage isn't silly low, but it's a useful saving

    all suppliers talk
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    You def wont be the only one, especially as it was made clear that even after stealing thousands of pounds worth of energy the only penalty was a repayment plan.
  • all suppliers talk

    The reports of delays and bungling over moving supplier suggests not the same language!
  • Anyone who missed the energy theft prog last Monday on BB1 Inside Out, its viewable again on BBC iplayer until Sunday on Inside Out North East and Cumbria

    don't hold back.....say what you think :beer:
    Unfortunately i am not exaggerating. For those on here who have exposure to the public and the industry they will recognise what i say. It is not EDL soundbiting as someone else further along suggests.. Of course there are some such establishments which are very well run and produce fine food in clean conditions but they are in a small minority. The Brits love eating sh!te. Many know nothing better...
    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    Another gas by-passer?

    Cause seems to be unknown at the moment, but if it is a by-pass then I hope it is reported as such.

    A few explosions linked to gas by-passing might make people think twice!
