Reply:Either this is a wind up... or you REALLY haven't got a clue have you ?? !!!!



Where abouts are you ? Can I hook my decorations up to the power line as well ???



Don't worry it's free !
Reply:Electric is not free!!!!! Shut him down right now. Don't wait until tomorrow. Call your electric service tonight and tell them what's going on. Where I live, that is illegal.
Reply:Its not free, they need to power off their mains supply and that goes through their meter and bill. You will get a massive bill. Switch them off, switch your mains off even and go out. Ring the electric board if you don't like it and the police as its theft
Reply:The guy is taking you for a ride, there is no such thing as free electricity for anyone. Get the wires disconnected, and tell him to plug it into his own source. If he wants the lights up then he should pay for them, not freeload off of you.
Reply:Hi,he is lying you will end up with a huge bill.I would get the electricity board out to check your meter.There's nothing free in the UK.
Reply:replace it with batteries.lol
Reply:You need to call the police. This person is robbing you of your electricity that you will have to pay for. He is also a confidence trickster. He is also likely putting you at severe risk. Don't delay. Call your power authority to tell them of what is going on and call the police. It is an offence to steal. What a piece of low life this neighbour is. I hope you do have a happy Christmas but be careful. This sidewinder may even have the cheek to say you gave him permission to set up the lights like this. I would not trust him as far as you can toss a grand-piano.



Best wishes.

Reply:It sounds to me like your neighbor is trying to steal from you. I don't know about the UK, but in the United States you would be well within your rights to sic the power company and a law suit on this person.
Reply:Hes ripping you off mate, if i were you go disconnect his lights, and tell him to pay a fraction of your bill!
Reply:Unplug it NOW dude.

1) Electricity is not free

2) He is stealing your electricty that you`ve paid for

3) He was tresspassing into your garden in order to tap into your supply.

Tell him to get lost or call the police.
Reply:But some shares in the electric company quickly !!!
Reply:Get a portable air tank, fill it with the max ammount of air.

Next go to the hardware store.

Tell the clerk you want to convert the valve to a 5/8ths inch female fitting to fit a garden hose. (If he asks why tell him you store water in it). Next wheel your chair over to his house and connect the tank to his water spigot on the outside of his house. First turn on the air, then open his water valve. Wait 5 seconds and disconnect. Go home now and have a spot of tea knowing you took Karma into your own hands.

The average PSI of water running in a home is 35-45 PSI.

This is from end to end with no air anywhere, when you add a 20+PSI "bubble" to the line it will blow the shower head off the wall, Blow the sink faucet to the ceiling and sometimes crack the toilet. Not to mention all the damage done behind the walls. Basically the system has to burp and has nowhere to expel the air so it makes its own exit.

Just a little trick we use hear in the USA on people who try and take advantage of their disabled or the elderly neighbors.

If this is to extreme call the police or just keep cutting the lines and blame it on vandals.
Reply:This is not only illegal, it could also be dangerous. Get on to the electricity board ASAP, and probably the council's environmental health and safety as well.

Commiserations btw for having such a lying scumbag of a neighbour.

Also it is not free to pensioners, over 60s get a ￡200 winter fuel payment, but that is just for what it says, not for someone else's house bling.
Reply:Is this a joke?
Reply:Of course he's not right. Is this a wind up?
Reply:Not as far as i know.

I'd contact your electricity supplier %26amp; tell them whats going on.

You are going to be paying for the electricity thet he's using, he's taking you for a soft touch.



Would you work for no wages? Well nither will the people that run the powerstations or the people that read meters, or those that work for the electricity board repairing faults.



Your neighbour is a 'neighbour from hell' %26amp; is using you. :-(
Reply:wrong - I am a pensioner and this is not so -we get a heating payment but that is to help us with the extra heat etc we need in winter - get in touch with your local authority NOW
Reply:The power is not free. I don't think he could connect to your supply but tell him to move it anyway.
Reply:No electricity is free to use. Report him to the supply company as soon as you can, and also disconnect his cables. Most electricity companies have a Revenue Protection department to investigate misuse, and they may be interested in him. Report it NOW.
Reply:disconnect his decorations and call the electrical company rapidly!!!!....I cannot imagine that electricity is free at x.mas time!!!and anyay he should ask you before taking such liberties!!!
Reply:No he's not. How can you prove that the electricity is being used to power the lights and not other appliances? Get in touch with your electricity provider asap.
Reply:i have never heard that electricity's free. I'd phone your supplier and tell the the situation
Reply:Thats not true, of course electric is not free no matter what its for...unplug it, tell him to use his own electric and ring your electric company and the police and tell them what he's done. He is stealing from you. You will end up paying for his annoying flashy lights!



[Edit] This guy is guilt tripping you...you're a pensioner in a wheelchair and he says you will be known as 'Mr. Scrooge' for not using your winter fuel allowance to power his lights?! Seriously, ring the police, this guy is stealing off you!
Reply:Your neighbour is lying, unplug it !!!!
Reply:Disconnect it, he's talking rubbish.
Reply:free electric for pensioners ! everyone would have signed up and you wouldnt have been given a cold weather payment, you would have been told to plug in electric heaters instesd. get your son and him to foot the bill.
Reply:hes lieing its that simple if it was free u woul find lots more poeple with xmas lights up
Reply:I would call the electricity company and find out quick
Reply:Who cares if he thinks you are a Scrooge, unplug those lights or you are going to be paying a fortune.
Reply:No its not free, call the electricity board and report this before there is an accident and someone gets hurt or even worse.
