    yes & no then the gas boiler needs attention

    no & no then phone Transco


    yes and yes - they are using your gas!

    No sticker on the meter - though it is in the cellar. No other gas appliances in the building to check. Everything else is electric.

    Boiler on the blink - possible. Some young lad is supposed to come round and check.

    Excellent analysis. That's the first post for a long time whose logic is worthy of an IT professional. Most posts on here give me the strong feeling that I hope to F that I never have to work with these guys' stuff.

    The vast majority of the building including toilets, kitchen, hallways etc. are heated by them. So while my office is okay..the rest of the building is cold as ice.

    'Course the bill is with e.on and they have been F**king us around for the past three months. No doubt they have been paid but messed up when the new tenants moved in and bills were taken over by the landlord. It took us three months to get it sorted. E.on are so crap.
    Why does it matter to you if the neighbours paid the bill or not?

    We got a bill from Eon for £1300 for a quarter for gas and electric - I left it in the capable hands of the wife!

    I'm all warm inside. You actually remember my Passat misadventures. Though can't recall anything about potatos??? Which reminds me I've to apply roundup on the weekend to kill the weeds.

    I've got heat. its only the neighbours that don't.

    I assumed this was the next thrilling episode of the Wilmslow neighbours soap, where he'd hired a team of hitmen but then had second thoughts and called off the heat ..

    Can't wait to find out what happens next. Will moving his car a metre down the road work? We'll know soon.

    To be continued ..

    If it is the type of boiler with a pilot light then it could just be a dodgy thermocouple.
