this seems to happen to me ALOT!

[desrob]

Um, yeah, there's that too!

When I was training I was desperate to get in voids to practice removing a meters and purge & relight. Every flippin' one of them was pre-pay...

the ones with the big A AND B buttons were you have to time them actually when there going to display numbers for gas rating nightmare.

Did a landlords a couple of months ago with no credit left on meter.
Went to local corner shop and put £10 on a blank gas card - did the work & then dropped the card back to landlord.
Stuck the extra on bill - no problem.

Having never had to use a prepay card on my own house, will one fit all the others? If so, I like Blod's idea of just chucking a few quid on the bill but having my own knocking around.

i think there isnt anything wrong with fitting as long as its gastight.

yes, i would like to know from people with experience of these too!!!!!!! anyone?.

Maybe his spare meter was in use at home 😛😉😀😀

Surely this would be illegal?! Or at least morally wrong. The M.D. of British Gas has to eat too you know!! 🙄

 

[paulnwales]

thing you need to think of really is... if you go there and dont test because of no credit in meter, then there is a problem possibly a death how would you feel then? i put the meter on then do my tests and go. each to there own though i suppose.

put the card in and leave in the anti tamper wont go off then if it does you have to ring the supplier not 0800 111 999

Ive set a few off, supplier comes out and re sets it foc, apparently a lorry going past can set one off, normaly goes off if the unions are tight and you have to give it some grrrrrrr to losen them and it shakes the meter.

do you read the posts?

 

[capitanpugwash]

I see that on ebay you can buy a sort of bypass which you connect in place of a meter. You could try one of them maybe. Do you think it legal?
