Some letters to the editor take forever to get to the point. This one is brief and simple, about a pensioner, my aging father, who has been without electricity for four months now after his connection was disrupted by lightning or other natural causes.

We have tried every effort in the book, calling and e-mailing, to get the issue resolved. To date, he is still in the dark, losing all supplies that need a refrigerator. The last reference number we got from a call centre number, 0860-037-566, three weeks ago, was Ref: 412796224

We were promised then that the issue would be resolved, but sadly to date, no solution has been provided.
