    Cast of 1000s covers it. Never saw the same face twice.

    Have to say though, as protracted as it was, they were all hard working and had all done the customer service awareness course.

    Every one of them apologised at least once on behalf of Northern Gas. <laugh>

    My wife and I have an extensive collection of photos with us pointing at things. Her favourite trick is to not include the thing I'm pointing at, thus making me look quite the ****.

    I had similar with Yorkshire Water
    Couldn't find what he needed next door so came and started digging at our side, despite their being no shared water or drains.
    Rapidly ****ed off when challenged, and only came back to put everything back to how it was.
    I told him exactly where the cover he needed was because it was shown on my plans as it was close to the boundary. Sent him a photo of the plans.
    He still couldn't find it, until I went round and moved the 3 leaves that were covering it. Sending him the photo was no use because he was incapable of reading plans so was looking in the wrong place.
    No wonder they're pouring **** into the sea, one of them is probably looking at upside down plans thinking its going into a septic tank in West Yorks...

    Probably got 25 years left between them and they spend their time complaining about poles!!
    There is an old nob near me that can walk but pretends he needs a wheelchair. He decided he wanted to use the area where I park my car to be pushed in his wheelchair to the curbside. Because my car was always there he badgered the council into putting a drop curb in but without a white line I was legally entitled to park there.

    A month later a white line came and I respectfully started parking to the side of it despite being frustrated having watched him walk around his back garden every single day.

    Both myself and a tradesman visiting another house both had cause to use the drop curb to mount the grass and park right outside our homes a few times after that. Me for loading/unloading camping gear a few weeks on the trot and the tradie was just working somewhere and obviously had a lot of gear in his van he needed.

    The old prat tried blocking us in (suddenly found the legs to come and stand in the middle of 'his' drop curb (its not his it's on a public road) to stop both of us getting back off whenever we tried.

    Then the council came and installed a single wooden post in the middle of the drop curb. Literally the next day a scaffold wagon drove straight past it as it doesn't stop anything being able to get past.

    I've no doubt he is currently trying to get them to install 2 or 3 more bollards. He has had a camera installed in his window and whenever I go out to my car he is there peeping out or taking photographs.

    He must be 80. Why on earth would you waste your last few years messing about like that?

    If he was genuinely disabled I would have no issue but as I've said he is in his garden all day on his feet, bending down, lifting things. His garden is twice the size of the 6 or 7 steps from his front door to a taxi. Petty old git.
