Part 2... attempt 2 - Faceless Corps... or - Do what??

I was unceremoniously dumped offline as i was mid part 2 so decided to give it up as a bad job... for a while.
Last year, not long after switching from BT to XX my ISP offered an upgrade. Upon discovering i was not with BT they said they couldn't do the upgrade. I asked why since the company i had switched to was also part of my ISPs company? it had to be BT and that was that. I have been with my current ISP for getting on for 9 years. I am not wholly sure that i shall be with them going in to double figures!
Likewise, i was tempted by British Gas to take over my gas and electricity. More fool me.
Shortly before saying yes they announced their profits for the year.
571million squid!!!!!! do what?

So, having asked them if they would send me a new access key to my electricity meter which requires a different triangular key from that required to access my gas meter the girl at BG informed me that they no longer send out keys to people and that people were to buy them from their local hardware stores. Do what???
This company has just announced an almost obscene profit margin and they won't buy a key for the households who request them so that they can make sure their GESTIMATES for some bills are somewhere close to the correct figures.
Not everyone has a hardware store/builders merchants/blah blah on their doorstep and the cost to go out and buy one far exceeds the cost to the almighty Gas (no not Bristol Rovers) company. So much for customer relations. Well BG, ya stitched me for the year but i'm s*dding off to someone else next year so put that in your ferking pipeline and smoke it!
May karma recitify this at some later date! :D
