happy christmas to all

well no news from the front for a while , , im in vancouver still due to serious medical stuff happening to clover ,and hopefully she'll be in surgery in jan and i'll stay till thats done if i can and then be off home !

got this letter from billy

Hi Robert,
I've been in India with work for a while, hence a bit out of the loop. I
was away when the power went off, but Gill and the kids were around, so
didn't have a lot of fun. I'm back in the UK now though so keen to get
it sorted. I got a response from SSE which wasn't that helpful, but
pointed to Martyn Dopson at Yarnton as the guy to help. I've not been
able to get hold of him today, but I'll try again tomorrow.
I looked through the quote he provided yourself and Gary with and it was
gobbledygook to me. It seemed to just cover the basic laying of some
cable into a duct we are tasked with providing and then leave the
connection to the house up to us. That only seems to cover a very small
part of the cost and complexity of a new supply. E.g. Our electricity
meter is in the middle of the house (not on an outside wall), so how are
we expected to connect a new supply? So, I need SSE's help to fill in
the blanks of what else needs to be done to actually connect a new
supply to our house. I'll try and get Martyn's help with this. If I
can't get any help from them, then another letter to Ian Marchant and
David Cameron will follow.
I got a stock reply from David Cameron - just the usual House of Commons
postcard, but I guess he probably hasn't heard the last from me.

Cheers,
Billy


so thats all thats happening there ,nothing since ,and gary is still doing the pumping ,so hopefully everyone had leccy and heating over christmas .

not heard any news since one on the 20th from gary. just to say hes good enough to check on my hs over the period im away , very kind of him .

happy christmas and happy new year to everyone.
