To expect the delivery driver to check he's got the right address before filling an oil tank up with 1000 litres of heating oil...

Only 6 houses where we live, no gas supply and 2 of us have oil fired central heating. The first and last house on the lane.

We have just started using a different (local) company. Our delivery should have arrived Saturday, but got a call around lunchtime to say driver was over his hours, would be here Monday morning first thing. Bit miffed but things happen.

The instruction was that the gates to the garden and the oil tank would be left open since there wouldn't be anyone in (this is normal practice).

Have just arrived home to one of the neighbours waiting to tell me that the driver has filled his tank up with oil! He came home just as he had finished.

How the fuck do you not check you've got the right address before filling a tank with over £400 worth of oil!

Well- do you check the level when it is delivered? And do you have an Oil tank lock and a watchman?
