Now, I am not the best person to ask that, but I'll give it my best shot (excuse the pun). Could it have something to do with the use of pistols to start races and that some over-eager athletes might start the race before the pistol is shot?

Quite right Ju.....When impromtu horse races were a feature of regional fairs and gatherings these races were often started by a gun shot since it was a clear signal to begin the race.Now, I am not the best person to ask that, but I'll give it my best shot (excuse the pun).

Another way of starting such a race was for the finish line judge to hold his hat high in the air and then "drop his hat" or more accurately, swoop it downwards. Hence another of our fine phrases - "I'd do it at the drop of a hat."

Well there is only 2 outcomes to this thread. Other he is fiddling the meter, which forced the hydro to get a court order and a police escort to break in a fit the meter, or he is just winding everyone up, its as simple as that.
The hydro wouldnt just break into a house, and if someone had broken into the house the first thing u do is call the police.
If the hydro did break in on the own accord then i fancy a big compensation event is coming hammers way.
If the police was escorting the hydro then finally you have been caught fiddling and its time to pay up.

Hammer, i must agree with most of the people on this thread and re-iterate that you must phone the police. i would do this now and not wait for any reply from the hydro board. i would also contact the council emergency number as your lock has been broken and this leaves you open to whatever theives and morons there are about. the council should be able to come and make your premises secure and give you peace of mind until the rest of the mess is sorted out with the hydro. if you get anything stolen at the moment it is unlikely that the insurance would pay out as they would say that you are negligent in getting your property secured.
To stay young live honestly, eat slowly and lie about your age.

Think you've hit the nail on the head there
You're right you are stupid, either that or a crook who has failed to read letters sent to you previously by the electricity company.
Your reluctance to contact the police is probably because you realise your in the wrong to at least some degree.
Suggest you switch your PC off and unplug it to save money for the bill and the new door lock.

Thank Heaven it's Monday. Maybe, sometime later today, we will get the next exciting episode of "The Man from H.Y.D.R.O."
Was it really the man from H.Y.D.R.O.?
Did hammer finally call the Police?
Did H.Y.D.R.O. confess to their dastardly behaviour?
Have the Hydro installed an accurate meter to replace the one hammer says was constantly overcharging by seventy five pounds?
Has anybody seen the "One Armed Man"?
Is anyone else glued to their screens in excited anticipation to find out what happened?

If you ask me we will never know the real story.

i always thought that the law stipulated that if forced entry is required to serve a warrant (of any kind) then the people doing the forcing (this includes the police) must make the property secure again before leaving .
but then again maybe thats not in the scottish constabulary.
come on hammer whats happening???
beauty is in the eye of the beerholder!

Now there's a point dunderhead. Hammer arrives home and it's only three hours later that he notices that his house has been broken into and the meter changed.
I rather think if I arrived home I don't think it would take me three hours to realise that my place was insecure and the lock had been broken when I went in.

Possible.
Come on hammer put us out our misery.

Connieb19 is probably right, his lectrick is probably cut off.
Maybe we should start an elecricity fund for Hammer.....I have a car battery and some unused AA and AAA batteries to start it off.
Also have a few lengths of flex that hammer could run to the nearest wind turbine (or lampost).
Or my old bicycle dynamo which could easily be connected to any hamster wheel.
