A new gas meter was installed at my house and the readings are wild. My gas has been switched on with the new meter for just over 24 hours and if this reading started at 0, I've used over 2000m3 of gas in that time apparently. My previous reading for 28 days, I used 51m3. Something is very wrong here.

Call the gas company/distributor and you can report a fault. They may try to palm you off to your energy provider, but you should be able to explain what you have here and they can send someone out.

I remember a whole bunch of org rules (like paying for the service which will be refunded if the meter is actually found to be faulty, etc) but I'm not sure if they apply here.

Definitely check with your gas distributor

Ack. Need to sort out something wit my car insurance and this is the 2nd day I’ve gotten the same person who seems very inexperienced.

Guess I’ll call back tomorrow and hope I get someone different.

Coles coffee has become weaker over time even if I select the strongest setting so I've been experimenting with my own recipe. 1 shot of macchiato and a medium cappuccino in large cup. Regular strength on both. If you go too strong it becomes bitter.

You are welcome.
