One of the less likeable parts of my job,
going around to the houses of people that have not paid their power accounts for a while (some up to 6 months), and remove the mains fuse, until the said account has been paid.
I absolutely hate this aspect of my job, but
business is business,however, I was asked by an elderly man the other day,"How would I like it if I was in his position, with Dinner half-cooked,and the power is about to be turned off?".
I really feel for the people that cannot pay the exorbitant prices(Line Charges+kWh charges), that power companies charge.
How would you feel if you were in my shoes?.
Although we should all pay our power accounts,the pension system over here is a shocker, leaving the elderly to perform a balancing act with thier fortnightly allowance, some of them go without food and some of the essentials of life, just to pay the power bill.
Have any of you been in the same boat as me?,
We just get a Permit To Disconnect, no questions, just do it!.
Your thoughts on this regime?.
P.S, In the senario that I put forward, I came back the next day, it would be a shame to ruin a good roast!!.
