» Teenage Parties
Mis-spent youth
I have several teenage party stories
One half term, my parents went away for a week, leaving me in the house alone with only three rules:- No Steve, no Kay and no parties.
Several weeks later i was left waiting for my lift home from school for several hours in the rain, until I realised that Mum wasn't coming and I would have to walk home.
The reason? I had forgotten to remove the cassete from the family camcorder we had been playing with, which quite clearly captured me with Steve under one arm and Kay under the other while shouting "We're having a paaarrtyyyy!".
Another time I was quite convinced that there was no trace of the weekend's illicit party, so played innocent when questioned by a thunder faced parent the next week. It appears however that somebody had stuck a microwave lasagne onto the kitchen ceiling. (At the same party, someone urinated in the fridge and I caught somebody else emptying the freezer into a bag, to which the reply when confronted was "It's ok, (my name) said I could." )

British Gas
I had been in my flat for 10 months when I received a stern call from a debt collector on behalf of British Gas, instructing me that I needed to pay several hundred pounds for my gas bill. When I told them that I neither lived in the property in discussion, nor even had a gas connection in my property, the bailiff sounded unconvinced and said he would be back in touch. I called British Gas and found that I had registered to have my electric changed to BG, but it had never gone through, deciding instead to attach my name to an adjacent flat.
British Gas then duly apologised for the inconvenience.
Since then, I received a few more calls from bailiffs, then eventually a call from a BG operative who was 'outside my flat' and about to turn off my gas unless I paid immediately.
Go on then. Do your worst.
Sorted it out in the end, but if you live in a block of flats in shoreditch - sorry about your gas connection. Blame BG.
Had a similar encounter with EDF energy, wherein they charged me for a property I no longer lived in, and also sent the bill to an address which I have never lived in. Cue more debt collectors on the phone.
This issue actually got sorted out twice. The first time I was told it was all over, it happened again six months later. Same property, same situation.
Think I'll get my next flatmate to deal with the bills and I'll just pay him.
