Just to expand on this a little the guy was *very* insistent but when
pressed for details, like if he worked for the company responsible for
supply he would know who did our billing, he became vague.
Long time readers of milton-chat will remember that this isn't the first
time we've had this. We had Scottish Power around last September too
trying similar tactics.
As well as logging it with our actual supplier I've complained to
Scottish Power this morning but I'm not holding my breath.
