NEPA bring their bills

Its been a long observed coincidence in our area that power supply follows a slightly chaotic pattern.

As we get closer to the 15th of each month we get a little more light than usual.

Then the NEPA bill arrives.

A week or so later disconnections follow for those who have not paid [or bribed someone to stay away]

A few days of much better light - to punish those who are disconnected and encourage them to cough up

Then back to darkness or a few meagre hours of light

After some ups and downs we seem to be firmly back to this pattern.

So yesterday the NEPA guy came around with the monthly bill

Mrs Okada was at home

And she spoke to the unlucky young man rather harshly.

I think he ran away about 5 minutes into the lecture on their corporate performance.

The NePA people are already a bit afraid of her after her previous sessions of pursuing their stupid billing errors as far as management in their regional offices (also now a bit afraid of Mrs Okada) and this has probably reinforced her reputation.

Pity for NEPA staff that madam is just starting on several months maternity leave.

I think they will be treading lightly as they pass our house.
