Mainly wireless in these modern times.
In my case that's one wire less than is needed for the machine to run.

This fact is wrong MargaretR peter told me about it and i phoned British Gas
they phone me yesterday asked a few questions and i am now on the 'Essentials' Rate and they have put me on something else but cant remember what:D
it means that if they have to dig the gas main up or electric cable they will make sure i am not without gas or electric
so yes it can still be applied for

Cuz we're the promised land, or they occasionally get things wrong, take you pick:D

What can they be doing to the website which takes so much time?

Big businesses come out with so much Bovine Excrement when it comes to their websites - new features etc. can be put into new directories and then launched in an instant after thorough testing.

Normal service???
The last time I contacted BG, it was 5 days before they replied with a pathetic excuse .....................

Sorry everyone .............
There I go again, suffering from living in the real world rather than cloud cuckoo land.

By the way, it quit snowing. The streets are all plowed out. Sidewalks plowed and sanded. And the trucks and the blowers are hauling the snow away to the dumps. Sorted.

Of course it sounds foreign hon; it's Canadian:D

But seriously, it goes something like this: it snows for a few days. The City crews plow (plough:confused:) and sand (grit), and life goes on. When there is a break in the snow, the graders blade the snow and slush into nice neat rows. The big blowers blow the accumulated mess into trucks which haul the crud out to some old quarries and to the landfills. We can't wait for the stuff to melt ..... that could be next March!:eek::D:D

I sort of don't agree with cold weather payments but only because I believe the pension should be set at a level that means pensioners can afford to heat there homes.

Not sure Neil but I don't think all pensioners get it, its the for the sick on benefits if I remember rightly, I know Joan doesn't get it. this is not to be confused with the heating allowance which is paid to people over 60 irrespective of health, but only one payment to each property
