Probably selling hooky tokens for the prepayment meters...

We're with British gas for both gas and electricity and we haven't had a text like this. Mind you, I don't think they know our mobile phone numbers anyhow.
I wonder what they mean by "illegal" electricity?
Intriguing.

It's just scaremongering by the big boys becuase they're scared of the small electicity merchants. As we're all sheffield lads i'll let you in the know, i've 92 gigawatts in a lockup that i'm willing to go for a song, just PM me. ;)

We've got free leccy..........but it isn't illegal. lol.

92 gigawatts...are you mad? Don't drive around with that lot in the back of the van and exceed 88mph or you will end up in 1985!!!

Don't worry about it mate, it's all stored in rubber buckets. No risk from the old electric when it's stored in rubber, simple fact, like with lightning.

On an unrelated note, i've got a few cubic foot of the old natural gas going cheap which my mates currently got stuffed in a stairwell of a towerblock. In your game i bet you could shift it, if the price is right eh ;)

This is to do with the recent discovery of North Sea electricity I believe, as reported in the Daily Mail.

It's easy to spot the illegal electric as it is red. You're only supposed to use it to run street lights, but I was stopped by a bloke the other day who'd been sent to deliver some and they'd loaded his van up with an extra cauldron of it by mistake - there is two pylon's worth of leccy in one of those! He offered it to me cheap, but I was wearing my steel toe-caps so I couldn't carry it home. Shame, it was a shockingly good deal.

Don't tell anyone but I used some of that and it stained the inside of all my wires. I live in fear of the day I get that knock at the door.

KNOCK KNOCK
ME - Who is that?
KNOCKER - Wire inspectors
ME -:shocked:

Blimey - I'm glad I didn't get it now. My mate uses it all the time and he says his kettle has gone pink, but he saves so much on the electric it is worth it. He had old vegetable oil containers full of it on his allotment, but loads of it leaked away when he left his rubber wellies leaning on the drum.
