    They've got your number.

    Can you imagine that bird on your sofa. 'Excuse me love, you haven't got 50p for the meter have you?'

      • Property located in dodgy area
      • Immigrant tenant

      I'd want a mega deposit from you even before giving you a PAYG option
      How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

        I bet they do - isn't it a lot more expensive on PAYG? Could it be that they had people doing a runner in the past and leaving bills unpaid.
        Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

        I preferred version 1!

            Dig out the rubber gimp suit

            By-pass the meter

                  It's much more expensive than normal power, just make sure you have lots of change, you don't want the power to run out just before an epic post.
