British Gas

I'm very disappointed to hear Timothy Spall selling his soul to advertise British Gas, as I'd previously thought him an actor of integrity. For a start, the Government have allowed the company to be sold out to Centrica and so it should be called American Gas. Using the word British should not be allowed - this just takes market share from the patriotic but undiscerning (in the same way as BT do).
Try telling my friend - whilst he was at work, British Gas broke down his front door to cut off his gas supply for non-payment. That would have been harsh treatment indeed, even if he'd had gas installed. In my last interaction with British Gas, they have been so utterly incompetent, officious and pedantically unhelpful that I shall never have any further dealings with them.
I therefore find the tone of their recent advert, when they claim to be caring, responsible, efficient and altogether acting in the best interests of their customers to be particularly galling.

BT persist with their smug git campaign aimed at the terminally undiscerning. Please someone, GTCOMT. In the meantime, I do not intend to contribute anything to the cost of keeping these annoying twats on my TV screen.
