Why oh why can British Gas (and they're far from being the only culprits) not get their head around the fact that some people actually work in this godforsaken country, and are therefore out of the house during normal working hours from Monday to Friday?
I love the way they phone up to arrange an annual boiler service, wanting to confirm that "Thursday between 1pm and 5pm would be OK for you?". I mean, I know there's a record number of work-dodgers in the country, but the concept of people not being able to answer the door from 8am to 6pm can't be that alien to them?
But do not fear, because for an additional £3/month, I can have the "Flexible Time" contract that allows 5pm-8pm evening visits along with weekends. Lucky me.
