We have just had a visit from two 'Gas' men. They didn't come through the gates because the dogs were showing their keenness to say hello to them.
'im indoors went to the gate & simply said NO... & they went on their way.

Question: Does my husband really look like a rottweiller?Smile
Answers on a postcard please.... Ha!Ha!

Thats funny, we had 2 arrive this morning in benamaurel, we sent them on their way and told them to phone next time for an appointment, and of course the dog was making very unwelcoming noises!!

Heh, they've just (16:40) visited me in Cuevas del Negro.
One of the guys spoke surprisingly good english. He told me that there wasa contract from the PREVIOUS owners and since I didn't have one, I was using gas illegally. I told him to write and make an appointment. He told me that he wasn't just visiting all the english houses (and mentioned a couple of spanish neighbours). I told told him to write and make an appointment. He told me he would call the police. I got my phone out ...

The reg. of the van starts GX 8004 ... it's white with an orange bonnet. The guys were 30-40 (the english speaking one was younger) and the spanish-speaker had a beard/moustache.

I await a letter with an appointment.

Well done, thats the way to respond to them.

Rottweiller, no! Maybe a Brown bear?

Great article - I have several friends who have been caught out by these guys. Let's just hope no one else is.
