What a disgrace of a company they are. Wonder what the excuse is this time or will it be more BS

Yet another uneducated Twat comment.
Underground cable damaged by third party, engineers on site restoring supply’s within minutes, all restored within 2 hours.
Not bad – well done SSEN.

Steve is still bitter because they sacked him.
