Well this is more a tail of how 1 digit in a meter reading makes all the difference. Last year around August, Southern Electric and Gas decided to pull me away from British Gas, I had some crap times and large bills with them so I thought that when the guy knocked at the door, offered me a better rate that I was going to be laughing to the bank. I was wrong, after the guy signed me up, he submitted a reading for me.

It meant that in two days I went from 8000 odd units to 2000 units and then when I submitted the readings this week I am back to 8000 odd. So intotal I used 25years of gas in just 3 months. This is all based on the average 2 bed semi! I can not for the life of me work out how I could use that lol, thats like my roads whole usage being dumped on me for those three months, infact I think it would include the road next to me, as I think that would add up to 100 2 bed houses.

I love some good stats and maths and had never worked out my gas usage and how changing a few digits could matter so much! trust me it does.

So make sure you submit your readings and not only that, you double check them and try to do them often online as that way little things like this wont come up, hopefully.
