"We don't have a gate. Been here since 1986 and we never had a gate" I told them on the phone. Anyway it was finally read.

Lol. The dog that didn't bark, huh?

I'm the named person on our radio club's electricity account. I got a similar letter (for only one quarter). I rang them and said, yes, it is locked with multiple locks, one of which is an electricity supplier lock. I don't think the meter reader even looked.

This week I got a letter from Sth water saying that the new meter that they fitted about a month ago wasn't reading right something to do with the sensor not sending the right information and they where working with the company to get the readings right and would be fixed with in the next 2 weeks. And that they said it was about $5.00 worth so the next bill will show a credit. I suppose it is better in my pocket then them, it wont buy me a coffee for my birthday today lol. Heather
