free lightbulbs from british gas

[scarbados]

THis is really a reply but I can't find the original question
British gas keep saying customers will receive free energy saving bulbs - and someone wanted to know when.
British Gas told me they're sending them out by postcodes but wouldn't tell me anymore so prsumably they're starting with AA postcodes if thats any help
thanks

I have a WS postcode and mine can weeks ago ... and I was livid ..... firstly because the postman left a card and I had to travel 4 miles each way and pay �2.20 to park my car to collect them and sending because I DO NOT WANT FREE BULBS ... I want cheaper GAS!!!! What does anyone else think?

As a postman I can assure you these bulbs are going out - each day we have some to deliver.

I agree about the cheaper gas instead. I have had bulbs of the gas and leccy, but the irony is I replaced all my bulbs for low energy ones last year when they were on a bogof offer in Morrisons. I now have loads of spare bulbs, and considering they last ages, they'll probably still be there when I'm not.

Can't understand why the postman left a note though - Given the amount there are we are allowed to doorstep/hide them at our office.

I know Postdog, most annoying - my usually Postie was on hols and I know he would have left them .... still would rather not have them though ... bl**dy things are just taking up space in a drawer now as I , like you, replaced all mine 12 months ago ..... plus some neighbours gave me the ones a charity gave them, so now I have 8 spares, plus some pares I had already bought .... enough to light up Blackpool Illuminations ....... and still my gas is a fortune .... a free woolly jumper would have gone down better so I could save on the heating !!!!

My mum got the free bulbs, and when my brother was visiting her a couple of weeks back decided to put one in a light fitting in the spare bedroom and the bulb went bangand blew the fuse for all the upstairs lights, the remaining free bulb is now in the back of a cupboard.
