British Gas told me I can have a smart gas meter. Great!

So I apply online, only to be informed I cannot have one from reasons not stated.

My response was not suitable for a family friendly forum.

Seems very odd. I thought you could only smart meter now ? ( Yes I know you can have them made ‘ stupid ‘ and send in your reading lol ).
Do you even have gas ? 😂 Sorry I will rephrase that as we all know YOU personally have gas. I mean does your new house have gas ? 😀 Or are you looking at having it installed, we need more info . 😀

Good afternoon,
Swimming done, I'm now in the Railway Bell with a pint of Titanic Plum Porter, well, the remaining half.

Years back they did a Cranberry & Stuffing one, it tasted like raspberry crème biscuits. That is not as bad as it sounds though!

I went to ASDA to get a bottle but was told that price is only online ie home delivery.
Is that right ?
Worcester has it on the shelves at that price, well £25.97, and I bought from the physical shop in person and took it home. A bit like a pet, okay a short lived pet:smile:

Maybe it is one of those like the Aerstone Sea Cask/Land Cask that are discounted every few weeks and this is region dependent.

Bye

New house. It has gas, but dumb meter. Right next to the gas meter is the smart electronicity meter.

I mea , BG emailed me and told me I could now have a smart gas meter! I was jolly annoyed.

A rare afternoon post for me, but had to announce I've been in the sea. Back surfing after a bit of an initial forced layoff due to shoulder then apathy/cycling etc. Anyway, was good to get back and I now need to keep it up. Surfing was always my first and lifelong sporting love.
 
I cleaned under the bed today and nearly killed my self trying to turn it around
doing a 20 point turn, it's only a 3 foot bed, but the room is only 8'6 wide and I
have a computer deck at the end of the bed which is 18 inches wide, so not a lot of room.
I don't know how other people manage if you had a double bed.....maybe they just don't clean ?
We had fine drizzel most of the day so didn't go out for a walk, but has a sleep instead :smile:

Everyday is a school day. I knew new houses had to have smart electric meters and just assumed they would have to have smart gas meters too.

We’ve just changed beds and bought a very posh (and extremely heavy) king size mattress, however as I bought it from a clearance warehouse (I always have to get a bargain) it was only delivered to the front door.

We have a dogleg staircase and I still don’t know how we got it up there. We had about 1mm of clearance.
