I’ve worked for British Gas for many years. When I first started my job as a Customer Service Advisor, I was told that the needs of the customer come first. Now all that’s changed and I have to sell sell sell. If you have to call British Gas about you gas or electricity bills, unless you’re an ‘opt out’ customer, who lets it be known that they don’t want to be sold anything at all, you can expect to be asked if you want anything from your telephone service to your drains insuring!!

I don’t enjoy my job any more.

My mums boiler is quite old – there is only one engineer in the whole of the British Gas south east London workforce who actually knows how it works. She always asks for him and is reassured he will turn up. He never does. Instead some bright young thing reassures her, and tells her it will all be fine because he’s trained, takes it all apart and then can’t put it all back together again. So a week later, without any heating, the right guy comes. Now my mother just doesn’t let anyone but him in, but they still aren’t getting the picture.

‘Twas on the Wednesday morning that the gas man came to call . . .
