Why wouldn't she just Google it? It's in the Wiki entry.

How many new follows today Jack?
Left it a bit late for a “must get off twitter” post.
NO, NO, NO
Grunking at mo' but all of this. Not the tutor bit it's all price of everything and value of nothing and capitalist solutions for all. Have also used the papal indulgence simile
I am going to hell for my thoughts re the “my grandad is dead” response from squiggle.
They can break in to fit a pre-payment meter but only after obtaining a warrant from the court. By the time it got to that stage it wouldn't be a surprise.
Excuse me? She was diagnosed gifted, how could you forget?
Private bailiffs:
They can come in if there is access, eg. An open Window or door left open (hence why I used to keep all my accessible doors and windows locked, and shut the door behind me when I went to talk to them) . They cannot force there way in.
Court bailiffs:
are different in that they can force entry in addition to the above, but they generally try and talk to you. If you own nothing they will (generally) return the debt to the court to see what they want to do.
You can be summoned to appear in court for non payment of business rates (and council tax too I think), and they have the power to lock you up if you can't come up with the cash, or agree a payment plan (again, that's the last resort as they will get no money when you are locked up)
Generally the ones I dealt with were fine, they could see we had nothing, the court wasnt very nice, but we got it sorted
Frugally growing her own botulism to have injected into her face at a later date.
Anyone else getting urine-stored-in-jars vibes from those decanted oil posts
“And, uh, the jars of urine?”
“Oh, we’ll hang onto those...”
Also I dislike her for crowdsourcing frugal tips in the same way she crowdsourced poverty stories. Because she’s never lived either.
That would be a real last resort, so something that had gone on for a very long time. You wouldn't just come home to find people breaking into your home . And it would be more likely they would request to access the property via the owner, as the house didn't belong to Jack (she rents, btw).
I mean it’s not exactly a shocker that someone working in a factory 80 years ago would now be dead though is it?
Plus as she’s said she’s always rented, they’d likely ask the landlord for access before it got to the breaking in stage and the vast majority of landlords have keys to the property (I’ve never seen a tenancy agreement where either the landlord or agency doesn’t keep one).
I think it could still end up in the warrant stage if she ignored the landlord too but I can’t imagine they’d have to pick the locks as she put it, and for something like a meter in reality I reckon the emergency provisions would just mean they’d claim they thought it was faulty and got access from the landlord on that basis, neatly skipping the warrant issue,.
ETA: I also think as soon as they got wind of it most landlords would be looking to end her tenancy and come to some sort of arrangement with the utility company to stop the fitting as in the price range she’s mentioned for flats/houses, prepayment meters will put people right off and can be a right bastard to get switched to normal ones.

Yes absolutely. Once again this is Jack massively exaggerating for her audience of gullible middle class twats who will all now believe life on a low income is a never ending round of bailiffs smashing up your digs and upsetting the children.
