HomeCare that doesn't care..

An example of truly dismal customer service..   Chris O’Shea Group Chief Executive Centrica plc Millstream Maidenhead Road Windsor SL4 5GD   13 th  February 2021     Dear Mr O’Shea   British Gas HomeCare – Agreement No. xxxxxxxxxx-xxxx   I am writing to you with regard to the service being provided by your British Gas HomeCare division.   We had a new boiler fitted by British Gas in 2001 and have paid for British Gas HomeCare to cover Central Heating, Plumbing and Drains and Home Electrical since then, without a break as far as I can recall. Currently we pay an annual subscription of £290.76 and an excess of £50 per visit for the security of knowing we will have a range of domestic breakdowns attended to promptly.   We have used the service a number of times and usually found response times, outcomes and the professionalism of your personnel to be satisfactory or better.

I'd suggest 'illiterate and inarticulate computer nerds'. Brown envelopes stuffed with used fivers

Bloody cold December..

I had planned to describe December as 'white' but I suspect that this is no longer permitted under enlightened legislation to safeguard everyone from any kind of persecution on grounds of race, religion, sexual orientation, gender, disability, etc, etc....... Where to start? There are so many things about which any right-thinking person should be experiencing frequent apoplectic fits, it is hard to pick out the most brightly shining stars in the firmament of utter bollocks. BA cabin crew being duped - allegedly - into voting to strike for 12 days solidly over Christmas by their union. How on earth does anyone still fail to realise that the trades unions - particularly the big Waffen-SS style super-unions..) are run by power-crazed fascists whose only real motivation is to fight the class war whilst lining their personal pockets? The Nu Labour government clearly thinks that climbing out of the trenches of the class war and lumbering across no mans land towards the playing fields
