How to double glaze your house courtesy of EDF.
A few years ago I switched to EDF as my bills began to strangely soar.
I switched to EDF because when the salesman came round he told
me they were part of Scottish Power. I have since learnt different.
I was working away from home and my wife received excessive Bills.
She told me "we don't use this much electricity and gas do we?"
I looked at the bills, and sure enough she was right.
There was a barely visible plus sign beside the amount removed
from my account. Nobody had notified me, they just did it.
I phoned them and told them, "I demand my money back".
£1,200 later, we decided to complete the double glazing on the house
to ensure the bills were no higher. I cancelled EDF and switched to Southern.
The bills are cheaper, there are no invisible plus signs on the bills, and, to the best of my knowledge, they are still a British company. I just feel sorry for pensioners who are with EDF who cannot see the little plus signs.
When I cancelled with EDF, I told the guy at the other end of the phone that I'd been sold the service on the strength of EDF being a British concern, keeping British people in British jobs, but just for the record, out of curiosity, can you tell me what do the letters EDF actually stand for?
There was a very long silence, then he said: "Electricite de France."
I said: "Merci" and "Au revoir " as they say in France.
