    I'm terrible at forgetting to read my meters. I agree why can't they just have one set smart meter. I think the newer ones are supposed to be compatible with most companies. I can't help but feel it's to try and discourage people to switch.

    Still no news on the van.

    What is even more annoying is that no one has even rung us up or made any contact to let us know what if any progress has been made nor to offer any sort of apology.

    I sent a very sternly worded email this afternoon and low and behold got an instant response from the general manager. 

    Not the response we want but at least it was a response. He now reckons Thursday but we are not holding out any hope for that either. We don't trust a word they say.

    How annoying that the van cannot be collected until next week now. To be honest at the moment we are finding bad customer service is the norm. My tax rebate is now weeks overdue and a porch we ordered at the end of last year is still not ready to be installed even though that is a month overdue and no contact from either. Small local companies seem to be better unless supply chains have broken down. Covid seems to be the stock  excuse for everything which annoys me. They have had a year to get a system sorted for things.

    If it were not for the fact it has taken so long to find the van we would have asked for our money back and found another. Unfortunately they are like hens teeth at the minute 🤔

    They know the vans are hard to come by right now, no doubt that’s why they’re not making an effort. Covid and Brexit are very convenient excuses for poor service at the moment. Hopefully this time next week you’ll be in possession of your van.

    I am sick to death of any complaint that I make being blamed on Covid. You must be so disappointed.
